Emotional states have been indicated to affect intentional binding, resulting in an increase or decrease as a function of valence and arousal. Sexual arousal is a complex emotional state proven to impair attentional and perceptual processes, and is therefore highly relevant to feeling in control over one’s actions. We suggest that sexual arousal affects intentional binding in the same way as highly negative arousing states such as fear and anger. Ninety participants performed the intentional binding task before and after watching an either sexually arousing or emotionally neutral film clip. Analyses were conducted for the subcomponents action and outcome binding separately including the change in arousal before and after the emotion induction as a continuous measure. Results showed an interactive effect for time of measurement (before and after emotion induction) and arousal change on action binding: a decrease in action binding was noted in participants who reported to be more aroused and an increase in action binding was observed for participants who reported to be less aroused. Results emphasize that alterations in action binding are likely to reflect the deficits in the dopaminergic system involved in action execution. An impaired feeling of control in aroused states may play a crucial role for the underlying psychological mechanisms of impulsive violent behavior.

情绪状态已表明会影响意向性绑定，从而导致价或价的增加或减少。性唤醒是一种复杂的情绪状态，被证明会削弱注意力和知觉过程，因此与控制人的行为的感觉高度相关。我们建议，性唤起以与高度消极的唤醒状态（例如恐惧和愤怒）相同的方式影响意图约束。90名参与者在观看性唤起或情感中立的影片剪辑之前和之后执行了有意的绑定任务。分别对子组件的动作和结局绑定进行了分析，包括在连续进行情绪诱导之前和之后的唤醒变化。结果显示测量时间（情绪诱导之前和之后）和觉醒变化对动作绑定有交互作用：据报道，被唤醒的参与者中动作绑定减少，而据报道，被测参与者中动作绑定增加减少引起。结果强调，动作结合的改变很可能反映了动作执行中涉及的多巴胺能系统的缺陷。在被唤醒的状态中，对控制感的损害可能对冲动性暴力行为的潜在心理机制起着至关重要的作用。结果强调，动作结合的改变很可能反映了动作执行中涉及的多巴胺能系统的缺陷。在被唤醒的状态中，对控制感的损害可能对冲动性暴力行为的潜在心理机制起着至关重要的作用。结果强调，动作结合的改变很可能反映了动作执行中涉及的多巴胺能系统的缺陷。在被唤醒的状态中，对控制感的损害可能对冲动性暴力行为的潜在心理机制起着至关重要的作用。
