SGER: Emotional and Cognitive Carry Over from the September 11 Attacks

摘要：情绪和认知对9·11事件反应的影响PI：Jennier Lerner Proposal：0201525遗憾的是，9·11事件为推进情绪和判断研究提供了一个天然的实验室，并检验了先前研究结果的概括性。情绪和判断研究可能会通过确定解决人们与9·11袭击有关的认知和情绪需求的措施来为公共政策提供信息。这项小组研究追踪了同一组800名参与者(600名成年人和200名青少年)。其目标是研究恐惧、愤怒和悲伤对风险认知、因果关系的归因、政策选项的偏好、采取风险缓解行动的意图以及应对9·11袭击的经济行为的不同影响。第二个目标是研究青少年和成年人情绪反应的发展差异。更具体地说，该项目将使用从一家公司购买的样本，该公司通过随机数字拨号选择方法招募互联网调查人员。该数据集衡量了袭击前后的健康行为和消费者决策。调查和实验的第一波包括倾向情绪测量、情绪启动操作、风险感知的结果测量、因果关系归因、对未来感觉的预期、消费者决策、健康行为和政策偏好。第二波(在第一波之后的3个月或紧接着另一次全国性事件之后，以先发生的为准)将考察情绪随时间的变化如何影响相同的结果指标。

Abstract: Emotional and Cognitive Influences on Responses to the September 11 AttacksPI: Jennier LernerProposal: 0201525 Sadly, the events of September 11 provide a natural laboratory for advancing emotion and judgment research, as well as testing the generalizability of the results of previous research. Emotion and judgment research might inform public policy by identifying measures that address people's cognitive and emotional needs in relation to the September 11 attacks. This panel study traces the same set of 800 participants (600 adults and 200 adolescents). The goal is to examine the differential effects of fear, anger, and sadness on risk perceptions, attributions of causality, preferences among policy options, intentions to take risk-mitigating actions, and economic behavior in response to the September 11 attacks. A second goal is to examine developmental differences in emotional reactions between adolescents and adults.More specifically, the project will use samples purchased from a firm that recruits for internet surveys through random-digit-dialing selection methods. The dataset has measures of health behavior and consumer decision-making both before and after the attacks. Wave 1 of the proposed survey and experiment consists of dispositional emotion measures, emotion-priming manipulations, and outcome measures of risk perceptions, attributions of causality, expectations of future feelings, consumer decision-making, health behaviors, and policy preferences. Wave 2 (3 months after the first wave or immediately after another national event, whichever comes first) will examine how changes in emotion over time affect the same outcome measures.
