“…In a distraction condition, where participants engaged in a game of Tetris and therefore could divert their attention from the induced emotion, no significant emotion differences emerged. This finding is in line with Van Dillen et al's (2012) research which showed that participants in a disgusted mood reported harsher moral judgments when they were in a wait condition or had to ruminate about their feelings (feel condition) than participants in a distraction condition (see also Wang et al, 2011). Overall, the results of the current studies support the idea that the effect of induced emotion requires attentional resources.…”

“…Wang et al (2011) presented third parties with a trust game, in which a second player did not reciprocate trust by the first player. Participants engaged in more third-party punishment and reported more integral anger when they had to make their decision immediately compared to conditions in which they engaged in a delay and distraction task before making their punishment decisions.…”

“…Bosman et al (2001), in contrast, measure respondents' emotions and confirm that negative emotions drive the rejection rate in ultimatum games. Similarly, Wang et al (2011) and Neo at al. (2013) find that cooling-off reduces negative emotions and decreases the punishment rate in ultimatum games.…”

“…Laboratory experiments have more directly tested for the role of emotions in changing behaviour. In particular, cooling-off periods changed the behaviour of respondents when playing ultimatum games (Grimm and Mengel 2011), and they also reduced respondents' self-reported negative emotions and led to a change in punishment behaviour (Wang et al 2011). These examples show that cooling-off periods can change human behaviour and make decisions less dependent of temporary emotions.…”

Public opinion has a substantial impact on political actions. However, public opinion might be driven by temporary emotions. If these emotions cool off over time, public opinion might change as well. This paper analyses how emotions drive public opinion over time for the case of an environmental climate engineering technology, namely solar radiation management (SRM). SRM is a possible strategy to fight climate change by injection of sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere. Its potential implementation involves major risks and faces strong public opposition. Using panel survey data, we show that most respondents initially show strong negative emotions towards SRM and reject the technology. However, emotions cool off over time and acceptance increases. The increase in acceptance is larger, the longer the cooling-off period between two surveys is. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may

Research has implicated biased attention allocation toward emotional cues as a proximal mechanism in the association between trait disinhibition and physical aggression. The current study tested this putative cognitive mechanism by incentivizing a shift of attention from a provoking stimulus to a neutral stimulus during a laboratory aggression paradigm. Participants were 119 undergraduate men.They completed a questionnaire that assessed trait disinhibition, were randomly assigned to a distraction or no-distraction control condition, and completed a shockbased aggression task in which they received low and high provocation from a fictitious opponent. A significant positive association between trait disinhibition and physical aggression was found among non-distracted participants exposed to high, but not low, provocation. Distraction from provoking cues significantly attenuated this association.This study is among the first to provide experimental evidence of (a) the positive relation between trait disinhibition and laboratory-based physical aggression, and (b) a potential method for attenuating this association.
