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

摘要：情绪和认知对9月11日袭击反应的影响PI：Familer LernerProposal：0201525可悲的是，9月11日的事件为推进情绪和判断研究提供了一个自然的实验室，以及测试以前研究结果的普遍性。情感和判断研究可能会通过确定解决人们与9月11日袭击有关的认知和情感需求的措施来告知公共政策。这项小组研究追踪了同一组800名参与者（600名成人和200名青少年）。我们的目标是研究恐惧，愤怒和悲伤对风险感知的不同影响，因果关系的归因，政策选择的偏好，采取风险缓解行动的意图，以及应对9月11日袭击的经济行为。第二个目标是研究青少年和成年人在情绪反应上的发展差异，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。该数据集测量了袭击前后的健康行为和消费者决策。第一波的调查和实验包括倾向性情绪的措施，情绪启动操作，和结果的风险认知，归因的因果关系，未来的感觉，消费者决策，健康行为和政策偏好的措施。第二波（第一波后3个月或另一个全国性事件后立即，以先到者为准）将研究情绪随时间的变化如何影响相同的结果测量。

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.
