ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the differences in behavior of anxiety individuals and the normal control under different feedback (positive feedback,negative feedback).Methods 400 university students were investigated using self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and state anxiety inventory (SAI) and the data were analyzed with balloon analogue risk task.Results The score of anxiety group(24.28±6.12) was significantly lower (t=-2.25,P＜0.05) than that of control group(29.80±7.26) in the number of busting balloons.But in the number of busting balloons of positive and negative feedback condition,scores of anxiety group and control group were not significantly different(t=-1.82,P＞0.05;t=-1.78,P＞0.05).Conclusions Influence of anxiety on decision-making often manifests as risk aversion.
