Abstract: With the continuous development of decision-making psychological research field, decision researchers are paying increasing attention on the role of emotion plays in decision-making process. Based on the development of emotion theory, Cognitive Appraisal theory of emotions, Moral Emotions Theory and Motivational Dimensional Model of Affect bring new views on emotion for decision researchers. Because of the emergence of newly developing emotion perspective, the decision researchers deepened the knowledge of the mechanisms for decision-making. The Affect Infusion Model, Risk Analysis Dual Theory, Emotion as Social Information Model and Neural Affective Decision Theory are developed to describe how emotion plays a role in different types of decision-making. Based on the review of above models, the authors makes some recommendations on future research direction. The first, to strengthen validation researches of related emotion theories in different types of decision-making situations. The second, to make further thinking about mechanism of emotion in different types of decision making at perspectives of embodied emotion. The third, to take more broadly aspects into account the characteristics of emotion and cognition, integrate theoretical system at the perspective of interaction between emotion and cognition. Finally, to pay more attention to the interpretations of the natures of different emotions and their mechanism in decision-making. In addition, both emotional and cognitive regulations have certain universality and complexity, and have huge potential adaptive roles. How to make a better understanding and interpretation of such emotion-cognition regulation relationship in psychological experiments has brought challenges and expectation for future researchers.

摘要： 决策研究领域日益重视情绪的作用，情绪的认知评估理论、道德情绪理论及动机维度模型等新兴情绪观使研究者对决策机制的认识不断深化，出现了解释情绪在各类决策中作用机制的理论成果：情绪浸润模型、风险决策感知与评估双系统模型、情绪即社会信息模型、神经情感决策理论。未来尚需加强作用机制的验证研究，从情绪具身角度进行思考，基于知情交互的角度整合理论体系，重视神经生理机制理论及模型建构。并简要分析了理论成果的启示。
