Reports an error in "Anger has benefits for attaining goals" by Heather C. Lench, Noah T. Reed, Tiffany George, Kaitlyn A. Kaiser and Sophia G. North (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Advanced Online Publication, Oct 30, 2023, np). In the article (https://doi.org/10.1037/pspa 0000350), the first paragraph in the Method section of Study 4 has been revised. All paragraphs in the Results section of Study 4 have been revised. Table 1 and Figure 5 have been updated. All versions of this article have been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2024-17814-001.) Functional accounts of emotion have guided research for decades, with the core assumption that emotions are functional-they improve outcomes for people. Based on functional accounts of emotion, we theorized that anger should improve goal attainment in the presence of challenges. In seven studies, goal attainment was assessed in situations that involved varying levels of challenges to goal attainment. Across studies, anger compared to a neutral condition resulted in behavior that facilitated greater goal attainment on tasks that involved challenges. With a goal to solve difficult puzzles, anger resulted in more puzzles correctly solved (Study 1). With a goal to attain prizes, anger increased cheating rates and numbers of unearned prizes (Study 2). With a goal to do well in a video game, anger increased scores on a game with challenges to be avoided, but not other scores (Study 3). In two studies, examining the consequences of anger in response to the challenging task that was the focus of that anger, anger decreased reaction time with goals to win trials (Study 4), and predicted making the effort to vote in two contentious elections (Study 5). With a goal to protect financial resources, anger increased action taken to prevent loss compared to a physiological arousal condition (Study 6).

Lench 等人对“愤怒有利于实现目标”的更正。 （2023）。


报告了 Heather C. Lench、Noah T. Reed、Tiffany George、Kaitlyn A. Kaiser 和 Sophia G. North 所著的“愤怒有利于实现目标”中的错误（人格与社会心理学杂志，高级在线出版物，10 月 30 日， 2023，np）。在文章（https://doi.org/10.1037/pspa 0000350）中，研究4的方法部分的第一段已被修改。研究 4 结果部分的所有段落均已修订。表 1 和图 5 已更新。本文的所有版本均已更正。 （以下原始文章摘要出现在记录 2024-17814-001 中。）几十年来，情绪的功能性解释一直指导着研究，其核心假设是情绪是功能性的——它们可以改善人们的结果。基于情绪的功能性解释，我们推测，在面临挑战时，愤怒应该可以提高目标的实现率。在七项研究中，在涉及不同程度的目标实现挑战的情况下评估了目标实现情况。各项研究表明，与中性状态相比，愤怒会导致在涉及挑战的任务中促进更大目标实现的行为。以解决困难的谜题为目标，愤怒会导致更多正确解决的谜题（研究 1）。出于获得奖品的目标，愤怒会增加作弊率和不劳而获的奖品数量（研究 2）。为了在电子游戏中取得好成绩，愤怒会提高需要避免挑战的游戏得分，但不会提高其他得分（研究 3）。在两项研究中，研究了愤怒对挑战性任务的影响，而挑战性任务是愤怒的焦点，愤怒减少了以赢得审判为目标的反应时间（研究 4），并预测在两次有争议的选举中努力投票（研究 4）。 5）。 与生理唤醒条件相比，出于保护财务资源的目标，愤怒会增加为防止损失而采取的行动（研究 6）。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
