Abstract
The decision-making behavior of individuals and groups under the crisis situations has become the focus of the academic circles. This paper is organized with both the measures of laboratory experiment and questionnaire method in order to explore the effects of anger and fear emotion on crisis decision-making. The study induces anger and fear mood by watching the film clips and designs crisis situations on the basis of the questionnaire. Through analysis of the data, we can conclude that:
(1) Concerning the crisis decision-making time, the subjects in fear mood are much longer than those in angry mood, and there is a significant interaction between emotional variables and the gender variables. (2) The female’s crisis decision-making time is obviously longer in fear mood than in angry mood , and also longer than the male’s . Meanwhile, in terms of the degree about satisfaction of the crisis decision-making, males are apparently higher than females, and there is a significant interaction between emotional variables and the gender variables in the degree about the confidence of crisis decision-making.(3) With the increase of the programs, especially when the number of programs is 4, crisis decision-making time is significantly longer than the other two cases.
