The Influence Of Body Posture And Decision Maker's Roles For Risk Decision-making

In daily life,work and study,people always meet all kinds of decisions.Risk decision is one of the most common type of decision making,so it's also attend by researchers.So far,there has been a systematic theoretical researches and experimental researches,but these researches are more limited,largely focused on the personality traits and the influence of the external environment for risk decision-making.How body factors affect our decision are easily be ignored.As a kind of new perspective,embodied cognitive theory pay attention to our body effect,starting from the date of proposed was brought to the attention of the researchers.Study risk decision from embodied cognitive theory,discussing how body posture impact on risk decision.Put the people's physical factors which we easily ignored into the study of influence factors of risk is not only expanded the research scope of risk decision,enriched and expand of embodied theory.In addition,this study also joined the reward amount and decision maker's roles,which are all have Huge differences,aims to refine existing research.In the embodied cognitive context,exploring the relations between the two variables have important theory value and practical significance.This study,first reviews the embodied cognitive theory,decision maker's roles,and their related research progress.On the basis of predecessors' research,this study focuses on how the body posture,and decision maker's roles effect risk decision.The first study adapt situational experiments and use BART,the classic experiment paradigm to study how body posture effect risk preference and the positive/negative feedback effect,aim to explore whether the different body postures will effect different risk decision-making behaviors.In this study,participants get financial rewards by blowing balloons,as long as the balloon unexploded participants can obtain corresponding financial rewards.the experimental design for single factor experiment design,independent variables are divided into expansion body stance and crouching posture of two levels.By considering gender factors influence on and risk appetite,sothis study randomly selected 60 college students and divided into two groups to accept two experimental situations.Experimental results show that the participants who use expansion posture are more inclined to risk seek;crouching posture participants are more risk averse.The risk decision positive/negative feedback effect will be affected by the influence of different body postures,under the crouching posture,the positive/negative feedback effect was not significant.On this basis,supplemented experiment verified,with increasing the amount of monetary rewards,crouching posture participants risk appetite become wanes and the positive/negative feedback effect become significant.But no significant influence on expansion subjects.The second study add decision maker's roles,from the body metaphor to discuss how decision maker's roles and the body posture to effect risk decision-making.Study two still use BART,on the basis of the second study,do some necessary changes.To increase the amount of monetary rewards.The experimental results show that: crouching posture participants were no significant differences between for others and for himself.But under expansion posture,participants make decisions for himself more risk than for others.Research three add policymakers role,embarks from the body metaphor discuss the role of different decision makers and the effects of body posture of risk decision-making.Research and still use situational experiment,on the basis of the research on two experimental paradigm for the necessary changes.The experimental results show that: crouching posture,and there were no significant differences for others to make decisions for yourself.Expansion under the posture,make decisions for yourself more risk than for others.The positive/negative feedback effect under expansion and crouching posture for himself are significantly.For others the positive/negative feedback effect under expansion and crouching posture was not significant.
