It is increasingly obvious about the students' (from colleges or universities) confidence problem, which become a popular crisis of confidence and obtain the community's concern about the social phenomena. Meanwhile, the students interpersonally trust research is conducting in various fields . This study attempted to explore the emotions of the students the impact of interpersonal trust by emotional influence on the cognitive point of view .Explore students' emotional impact to trust and make the cognitive effectiveness clear ,and attempt to research the relation between their emotional intelligence and emotion in interpersonal trust.The study includes four experiments, and several other supporting experiments. We select 716 students from colleges in Shaanxi province. Through a 2×2 design in this study, the one explore the effectiveness of induced mood, carry the emotion operate test to the main experiment and test the reliability and validity of method in the induced mood. Through a 2×3 design, the one analyzes the incidental emotions' effects from different control evaluation in interpersonal trust. Through a 2×2×2 design , the one explores the impacts from different control evaluation and effects in interpersonal confidence. Through a 2×2 design , the one explores significant emotional impact on the incidental emotions' effects in interpersonal trust, which is carried in environments isolated from each other. Through a 2×2×3 design , the one discusses a trusted person's familiarity impact on the incidental emotions in interpersonal trust. Finally, We apply SPSS13.0 for windows for data processing to all the information.We find that incidental emotions significantly influence trust in unrelated settings. Happiness and gratitude ,( emotions with positive valence), increase trust, and anger, (an emotion with negative valence), decreases trust. Specifically, we find that emotions characterized by other-person control (anger and gratitude) and weak control appraisals (happiness) influence trust significantly more than emotions characterized by personal control (pride and guilt) or situational control (sadness).These findings suggest that emotions may be more likely to be misattributed when the appraisals of the emotion are consistent with the judgment task than when the appraisals of the emotion are inconsistent with the judgment task. Salience of the emotion's cause and target familiarity moderate the relationship between incidental emotions and trust. Emotions do not influence trust when individuals are aware of the source of their emotions or when individuals are very familiar with the trustee. Otherwise , emotional intelligences' level moderate the relationship between incidental emotions and trust.
