Abstract:
Traditionally studies on the affect of emotions on the behavioral decisionmaking
assume that, individuals with negative emotions are risk-seeking. However
in real situations, individual decision-making behaviors show different tendencies
of risk preference, thus more and more scholars are attracted to analyze
the effect of specific negative emotion on individual risk preference behaviors.
From the perspective of Affective Computing Theory (ACT), the concepts of
mixed negative emotion, emotional space, intensity of mixed negative emotions
and threshold of mixed negative emotions were introduced, the questionnaire of
emotional state transition based on Markov process was designed, empirical
analysis and numerical modeling were adopted to discuss different effects of
specific negative emotion on individual risk preference behavior under social
accidents. It is concluded that decision-making behaviors of individuals with
mixed negative emotions are mostly inclined to risk-aversion under social accidents.
Three types of specific mixed negative emotions, which were divided as fear leading, anger leading and sadness leading, have different effects on individual
risky decision-making behaviors, also behavioral selections of individuals
show differentially balanced strategies among three types of rescue solutions with
risk-seeking, risk-aversion and risks-neutralness. Furthermore, the personality
trait and the rescue experience have important moderating effects during the
process of individual’s mixed negative emotion cognition and risky behavioral
decision-making. The study reveals the differentially influence mechanism of
specific negative emotion on individual risk preference behavior under social
accidents, which has a significant meaning in individual emotion management,
psychological adjustment, behavioral intervention and the improvement of the
quality of emergency decision-making.
