The Influence Of Emotion Regulation On The Framing Effect In Adolescent Risk Decision-making

In the risk decision-making, adolescents are more likely to choose the risky option, and engagein risky behaviors. One of the important reasons is the mature of heuristic processing systems.Heuristic systems mature in the same time improve the individual overall cognitive efficiency, italso brings some cognitive illusion, such as framing effects. The different describing ways can causethe decision makers to have the different risk preferences to the same problem. In the recent researchbackground is single, and Conclusion the effect of genderon the framing effect is not consistent. Framing effects will be influenced by the individualemotional state, and individuals adopt different emotion regulation strategies will affect their riskdecisions. Therefore, it is of great value to research decision framing effect of theadolescent risk decisions.This study was divided into two parts:(1) Research1takes440junior high school students as the subjects, and used traditional surveymethod to investigate the effects of decision problem domain, decision makers of gender on framingeffect in adolescents risk decision-making. We found that the gender and decision domain haveinteractive effect on the framing effect of adolescent risk decisions. In both lives saving problemsand entertainment problems, boys did not occur the framing effect; in the lives saving problems,girls did not occur the framing effect, but in the entertainment problems, occurred the framing effect.(2) Research2takes95junior high school students as the subjects, and used the experimentalmethod to examine the impact of the faming effect in adolescent risk decision-making. We foundthat emotion regulation will impact the faming effect in adolescent risk decision-making. Incomparison to expressive suppression, cognitive reappraisal reduces the susceptibility to the framingeffect.
