An appraisal tendency approach was adopted to explore the influence of emotional certainty on stereotyping and judgment in a workplace context. Across two studies, participants completed an emotional memory task designed to induce emotions representing two different levels of emotional certainty (certain versus uncertain). They then reviewed interview footage, a résumé, and qualifying criteria before rating a hypothetical job candidate’s personality and employability. Study 1 revealed that emotions high in certainty (compared to uncertainty) led to more favorable personality and employability ratings for attractive compared to unattractive candidates. Study 2 produced the same pattern of results for younger (compared to older) candidates. We conclude that certainty appraisals associated with temporary, incidental emotions are a useful predictor of the likelihood that stereotypes will be applied during decision making.

情绪对工作场所选择中陈规定型观念的影响：确定性评估的作用

采用评估趋势方法来探讨在工作场所中情绪确定性对定型观念和判断力的影响。在两项研究中，参与者完成了一项情绪记忆任务，旨在诱发代表两种不同程度的情绪确定性（肯定与不确定）的情绪。然后，他们在对假设的求职者的性格和就业能力进行评级之前，对面试镜头，简历和合格标准进行了审查。研究1显示，与没有吸引力的候选人相比，高确定性的情绪（与不确定性相比）导致更具吸引力的人格和就业能力评分。研究2对年轻（与年长）候选人的结果产生了相同的模式。我们得出结论，与暂时性，
