The Effect Of The Emotional States On Reasoning To Different Emotional Intelligence Students:a Study From An Experiment

Emotion was a important factors that influenced cognition, however, the researches in the past investigated the influence emotion had on Wason's selection task.separately, and few researches investigated the way emotion and emotional intelligence.More investigators showed that positve induced emotion states affected reasoning. But the studies in the past fewer studies were about how emotion influenced reasoning priming. So far fewer and fewer people turned to the influences of emotion to complex reasoning and conditional reasoning, Complex reasoning and conditional reasoning are import parts of reasoning. How different it is for induced emotion states influence complex reasoning and conditional reasoning?What influences are different induced emotion affect reasoning?Either experiment facilitate emotion or the repressing of central executive is the factors that emotion affects reasoning. Considering these questions, this research adopts experiment to investigate how emotional states influence complex reasoning and conditional reasoning of middle school students. After deeply researching, we find that both positive and negative emotion influence reasoning,and the way the two emotion states affect reasoning are disparity. Overall, the influence of dissimilar emotion states on complex reasoning is significant ,and it is not well enough on conditional reasoning. But it is true that the marks positive emotion states scores is higher than negative emotion states. We find that the results which is repressed by central executive is worse than that is not repressed.This research adopts three experiments. Considering the concept of affective priming and the difficulty of dissimilar reasoning influenced by affective priming, this research uses two kinds of task of reasoning, one is complex reasoning and the other is conditional reasoning which is not so difficult. We compare the status influenced by emotional states of two kinds of reasoning with each other. Beyond that,influenced by emotional intelligence, the results of the tasks may be different.In experiment 1and 2, we divide emotion in to three parts which are positive, negative and neutral. In experiment 3, we divide participants in to experiment group and control group, both the two groups participate a task which involves array of numbers. In experiment group, we give participants normal feedback, but the control group don't. So we can know whether central executive functions is the factors that emotion influence reasoning or not.The three experiments investigate the results emotional states influence complex reasoning and conditional reasoning, and how emotion affects reasoning.After analysing the results, we concludes that:(1)Both positive and negative emotion affect reasoning, and emotional intelligence and emotional states interact with each other. Marks of participants who has higher emotional intelligence is higher than those lowers, and the lowers may easily influenced by emotion.(2)The diversity of the results that the three emotion states affect is not significant , but the same to experiment 1,higher EQ has higher marks in reasoning tasks.(3)In experiment 3, we find that participants who participate the central executive function tasks have higher marks than those don't.
