The effect of proximate emotions on risk perceptions is of central importance to criminal decision‐making theory, but has been understudied. We investigate the role of two integral (situational specific) emotional responses, anger and fear, in a decision‐making context regarding the choice to commit assault. We draw on dual‐process models of information processing and appraisal theory to propose a theoretical model in which integral emotions influence decisions and behavior. Using data from an experiment embedded in a survey to a nationwide sample of adults (N = 804), we test the interrelated roles of anger, fear, and traditional rational choice considerations on the intention to commit assault. We find a strong direct association between emotions and intentions to commit assault. Additionally, anger and fear moderate the effect of cognitive deliberations on behavioral intentions and provide a lens through which to evaluate a criminogenic opportunity.

战斗或逃跑：完整的情感和暴力意图

近距离情绪对风险知觉的影响对刑事决策理论至关重要，但尚未得到充分研究。我们在做出攻击选择的决策环境中研究了两个整体（针对具体情况）的情绪反应（愤怒和恐惧）的作用。我们利用信息处理和评估理论的双过程模型来提出一个理论模型，其中整体情感会影响决策和行为。我们使用一项调查中的一项实验数据，对全国范围内的成年人样本（N = 804）进行了测试，我们测试了愤怒，恐惧和传统理性选择考虑因素对袭击意图的相互关联作用。我们发现，情绪和攻击意图之间有很强的直接联系。另外，
