这项研究测试了情绪在结构化思维中的作用，在这个过程中，新产生的想法和见解紧密跟随先前产生的想法和见解。情绪可以在许多潜在的维度上进行区分，包括不确定性，而不确定性可以影响信息处理。基于这些理由，我们提出并验证了以下观点：（1）与不确定性评价相关的情绪（恐惧、悲伤）比与确定性评价相关的情绪（快乐、愤怒）导致更结构化的思维，（2）不确定性评价驱动这种效应。四个实验的结果的想法产生（不）确定性启动（研究1）和情绪诱导通过自我生成的图像（研究2-4）支持这些预测。
This study tested the role of emotion in structured ideation, a process in which newly generated ideas and insights closely follow previously generated ideas and insights. Emotions can be differentiated on a number of underlying dimensions, including uncertainty, and uncertainty can influence information processing. On these grounds, we proposed and tested the idea that (1) emotions that associate with appraisals of uncertainty (fear, sadness) lead to more structured ideation than emotions that associate with appraisals of certainty (happiness, anger) and that (2) appraisals of uncertainty drive this effect. Findings of four experiments on idea generation in which (un)certainty was primed (Study 1) and emotions were induced through self-generated imagery (Study 2-4) supported these predictions.
