三项研究调查了性格焦虑与风险规避决策倾向之间的联系。研究结果表明,性格焦虑与明显的偏见,使风险回避的选择。特质焦虑、担忧和社交焦虑的个体差异均与行为冒险任务中的风险规避相关(研究1和2)。与其他临床患者(例如,情绪障碍)和非临床对照,焦虑障碍患者表现出明显更大的风险厌恶(研究3)。研究结果表明,与风险规避的关系是特定的焦虑,而不仅仅是伴随着负面影响的经验。这项研究对理解情感处理和基本决策过程中的个体差异之间的联系具有启示意义。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Three studies investigated the link between dispositional anxiety and the tendency to engage in risk-avoidant decision-making. Findings suggest that dispositional anxiety is associated with a pronounced bias toward making risk-avoidant choices. Individual differences in trait anxiety, worry, and social anxiety were each associated with risk-avoidance on a behavioral risk-taking task (Studies 1 and 2). Compared with other clinical patients (e.g., mood disorders) and non-clinical controls, anxiety disordered patients exhibited substantially greater risk-aversion (Study 3). Findings suggest that the relationship with risk-avoidance is specific to anxiety, and is not merely concomitant to the experience of negative affect. This research has implications for understanding the links between individual differences in affective processing and basic decision-making processes. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
