Real-life decision-making involves a balance between emotion and cognition, a process that is mirrored in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Previous studies suggest that negative emotion affects IGT performance, and that this effect may be moderated by gender. In the current study, we experimentally instructed the use of a strategy for ameliorating the incidental negative emotion induced by negative images while men and women solved the IGT. To do this, we asked 38 men and 38 women to either only look at negative images (non-reappraisal group) or to use positive cognitive reappraisal when facing these negative images (reappraisal group) to ameliorate the negative emotion associated with them while trying to solve the IGT. Both men and women in the reappraisal group successfully used positive reappraisal to decrease their negative emotion compared to the control, non-reappraisal group. Critically, we observed that women performed better in the reappraisal group compared with the non-reappraisal group, in the second half of the task (performance phase). Conversely, men performed worse in the reappraisal group compared to the non-reappraisal group in the second half of the task (performance phase). Finally, a multigroup analysis revealed a gender moderation of the direct and indirect effects of positive reappraisal on IGT performance, indicating that reappraisal benefited women’s IGT performance through the regulation of negative emotion. Conversely, for men, the decrease of negative emotion through reappraisal did not impact IGT performance. Our results demonstrate that while the use of positive reappraisal is useful to ameliorate negative emotions for men and women, positive reappraisal benefits women’s decision-making, and impairs men’s.

积极的认知重新评估有利于女性的 IGT 决策,但不利于男性的 IGT 决策

现实生活中的决策涉及情感和认知之间的平衡,这一过程反映在爱荷华州赌博任务 (IGT) 中。先前的研究表明,负面情绪会影响 IGT 的表现,并且这种影响可能会受到性别的影响。在目前的研究中,我们通过实验指导使用一种策略来改善男性和女性解决 IGT 时由负面图像引起的偶然负面情绪。为此,我们要求 38 名男性和 38 名女性要么只看负面图像(非重新评估组),要么在面对这些负面图像(重新评估组)时使用积极的认知重新评估来改善与它们相关的负面情绪,同时尝试解决IGT。与对照组、非重新评估组相比,重新评估组中的男性和女性都成功地使用了积极的重新评估来减少他们的负面情绪。至关重要的是,我们观察到女性的表现在任务的后半部分(绩效阶段),重新评估组与非重新评估组相比更好。相反,在任务的后半部分(绩效阶段),与非重新评估组相比,重新评估组的男性表现更差。最后,多组分析揭示了积极重新评估对 IGT 表现的直接和间接影响的性别调节,表明重新评估通过调节负面情绪有利于女性的 IGT 表现。相反,对于男性来说,通过重新评估减少负面情绪并不会影响 IGT 的表现。我们的结果表明,虽然使用积极的重新评估有助于改善男性和女性的负面情绪,但积极的重新评估有利于女性的决策,并损害男性的决策。
