Abstract

This conceptualization describes how positive and negative mood states, information processing, cognitive processing strategies, and group interaction combine to influence group judgment and decision making. The crux of the conceptualization is a dominant cognitive processing strategy. Positive moods inform group members that the situation is benign and reinforce dominant cognitive processing strategies. Negative moods provide feedback that the situation is problematic, leading to inhibition or revision of dominant cognitive processing strategies. Moods achieve these impacts through their influences on the cognitive processes of attention, processing objectives, and cognitive representations. Group interaction also accentuates these cognitive processes and related strategies. This conceptualization is applied to understand mood influences on jury decision making, group social dilemmas, hidden profile tasks, group judgments of opinions, judgments with cognitive biases, and quantitative judgments. The discussion considers mood influences in other group judgment and decision making related phenomena of group brainstorming, intergroup negotiation, stress, and groupthink.

情绪对群体判断和决策影响的概念化：主导认知加工策略的关键作用

这一概念化描述了积极和消极情绪状态、信息处理、认知处理策略和群体互动如何共同影响群体判断和决策。概念化的核心是主导认知处理策略。积极情绪会告诉小组成员情况是良性的，并强化主导认知处理策略。消极情绪会反馈情况有问题，从而抑制或修正主导认知处理策略。情绪通过对注意力、处理目标和认知表征等认知过程的影响来产生这些影响。群体互动也会强化这些认知过程和相关策略。这一概念可用于理解情绪对陪审团决策、群体社交困境、隐性剖析任务、群体意见判断、带有认知偏差的判断以及定量判断的影响。讨论还考虑了情绪对其他群体判断和决策相关现象的影响，如群体头脑风暴、群体间谈判、压力和群体思维。
