本研究考察了人们在评价一个事件时所采取的视觉视角，即他们是否将自己视为情境中的行为者或观察者，如何影响他们所经历的情绪强度。我们预测，在激发情绪的情境中，对自我的更多关注（如果使用观察者的视角）会导致更强烈的自我意识情绪，如骄傲，内疚和尴尬，而对情境的更多关注（如果使用演员的视角）会导致更强烈的享乐情绪，如快乐，悲伤和兴奋。通过这种方式，视觉视角可以作为情境的前因，塑造情感评价的使用。三个实验支持这些命题，并证明了中介作用的评价，在各种情绪引发的情况下，可视化以及召回。
This research examines how the visual perspectives that people take to appraise an event, that is, whether they view themselves as actors in the situation or observers of it, influence the intensities of the emotions they experience. We predict that in a situation that elicits emotions, greater attention to the self (if using an observer's perspective) leads to greater intensity of self-conscious emotions such as pride, guilt, and embarrassment, whereas greater attention to the situation (if using an actor's perspective) leads to greater intensity of hedonic emotions such as joy, sorrow, and excitement. In this way, visual perspectives can act as situational antecedents that shape the use of emotion appraisals. Three experiments support these propositions and demonstrate the mediating role of appraisals, across a variety of emotion-eliciting contexts, that were visualized as well as recalled.
