摘要

本文提出了一个理解理性选择与情绪行为之间关系的框架。情绪被解释为暂时的，尽管是可预测的偏好、能力和信仰的变化。人们会理性地预测自己对挑衅和其他刺激的情绪反应;在情绪的影响下，他们也会理性行事。法律需要考虑到这两种影响。本文讨论了(1)对愤怒或仇恨影响下的谋杀行为的制裁，(2)对带有偏见的证据(如血腥照片)的处理，(3)当个人受到恐惧或恐惧时的安全监管，(4)当当事人彼此愤怒时的合同和司法救济，以及(5)对引发情绪反应的项目的成本效益分析。

Law and the Emotions

This paper presents a framework for understanding the relationship between rational choice and emotional behavior. Emotions are interpreted as temporary albeit predictable changes in preferences, abilities, and beliefs. People act rationally in anticipation of their own emotional reactions to provocations and other stimuli; they also act rationally when under the influence of emotion. The law needs to take account of both of these effects. The paper discusses (1) the sanction for murders committed under the influence of rage or hate, (2) the treatment of prejudicial evidence such as gory photographs, (3) safety regulation when individuals are subject to fear or dread, (4) contract and judicial remedies when parties become angry at each other, and (5) cost-benefit analysis of projects that provoke emotional responses.
