情感影响可能在青少年冒险中起着关键作用,但很少有人研究。使用视听的情感诱导方法,两项实验研究考察了积极情感对青春期和青春期风险知觉的影响。结果是人们对饮酒、吸烟、与酒后驾车的司机乘车、打架以及无保护的性行为的风险认知。研究1表明,对于年轻人(平均年龄23岁)来说,积极的情感比中性的情感导致更低的风险感知。研究2对青少年早期(平均年龄13岁)、青少年中期(平均年龄17岁)和青壮年(平均年龄23岁)重复了这一效果。此外,研究2表明,这种影响在高水平的冲动时最为明显。青少年和年轻人在不会产生情绪的环境中可能更厌恶风险,但在积极情绪下的风险感知明显较低。(C)2010年,青少年服务专业人员协会。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Affective influences may play a key role in adolescent risk taking, but have rarely been studied. Using an audiovisual method of affect induction, two experimental studies examined the effect of positive affect on risk perceptions in adolescence and young adulthood. Outcomes were risk perceptions regarding drinking alcohol, smoking a cigarette, riding in a car with a drunk driver, getting into a fight, and having unprotected sexual intercourse. Study 1 showed that positive affect led to lower risk perceptions than neutral affect for young adults (mean age 23). Study 2 replicated the effect for early adolescents (mean age 13), mid-adolescents (mean age 17), and young adults (mean age 23). Moreover, Study 2 showed that the effect was most pronounced at high levels of impulsiveness. Adolescents and young adults may be more risk averse in contexts that do not give rise to emotions, but have markedly lower risk perceptions under positive affect.
