Previous studies explored the possibility to use cognitive strategies to bias economic decisions by altering their emotional impact. One emerging question, but yet unsolved, is whether different cognitive strategies impact our decisions in the same or different ways. Another intriguing question is whether these strategies alter our decisions by altering the valence or by affecting the arousal of the emotion associated with the economic exchange. In the present study, we compared the effect of 2 emotion regulation strategies, namely, reappraisal and distancing, and showed that reappraisal is able to increase the valence of the emotions associated with monetary divisions in the dictator game (Experiment 1) and to reduce rejection rates in the ultimatum game (Experiment 2), whereas distancing decreases the arousal of emotions (Experiment 1) but surprisingly increases rejection rates (Experiment 2). Moreover, in the present study, we explored the cognitive effort associated with the usage of regulatory strategies during decision-making, using the galvanic skin response as index, and found an increase in physiological arousal when applying both strategies. These results extend our understanding of how to bias individuals' decisions in a desired direction by using different strategies that alter one aspect or the other of the emotional reaction.

通过改变情绪来改变决策:两种情绪调节策略的行为和生理证据。

以前的研究探索了使用认知策略通过改变情绪影响来偏向经济决策的可能性。一个新出现但尚未解决的问题是,不同的认知策略是否以相同或不同的方式影响我们的决策。另一个有趣的问题是,这些策略是否通过改变价或通过影响与经济交换相关的情绪的唤醒来改变我们的决定。在本研究中,我们比较了 2 种情绪调节策略的效果,即重新评估和疏远,并表明重新评估能够增加独裁者游戏(实验 1)中与货币划分相关的情绪的效价并减少拒绝最后通牒游戏中的比率(实验 2),而疏远会降低情绪的唤醒(实验 1),但令人惊讶的是会增加拒绝率(实验 2)。此外,在本研究中,我们探索了与决策过程中使用调节策略相关的认知努力,使用皮肤电反应作为指标,并发现应用这两种策略时生理唤醒的增加。这些结果扩展了我们对如何通过使用改变情绪反应的一个方面或另一个方面的不同策略来使个人决策偏向于所需方向的理解。并发现在应用这两种策略时生理唤醒都会增加。这些结果扩展了我们对如何通过使用改变情绪反应的一个方面或另一个方面的不同策略来使个人决策偏向于所需方向的理解。并发现在应用这两种策略时生理唤醒都会增加。这些结果扩展了我们对如何通过使用改变情绪反应的一个方面或另一个方面的不同策略来使个人决策偏向于所需方向的理解。
