9·11恐怖袭击引发了包括愤怒和悲伤在内的多种形式的负面影响。他们还引发了对解释的搜索。一项通过实验启动情绪的全国性现场研究评估了启动愤怒和悲伤如何不同地唤起对攻击的因果判断。研究发现，引发愤怒的人比引发悲伤的人更容易产生因果归因。因此，特定的情绪，而不是普遍的负面情绪，塑造了公民对9·11事件的归因。除了其理论意义外，这项研究还展示了一种在实验控制条件下研究生态有效情绪的方法，并以具有全国代表性的样本为例。
The terrorist attacks of September 11 elicited many forms of negative affect, including anger and sadness. They also elicited a search for explanations. A national field study that experimentally primed emotion evaluated how priming anger and sadness differentially evoked causal judgments about the attacks. It found that priming anger triggered more causal attributions than did priming sadness. Thus, specific emotions, rather than general negativity, shaped citizens' attributions regarding September 11. In addition to its theoretical implications, the study demonstrates a method for studying ecologically valid emotions, under conditions of experimental control, with a nationally representative sample.
