Emociones mixtas y conducta de riesgo

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: This research explores the role played by a mixed emotional experience on predicting a specific risk behavior (getting into a vehicle knowing that the driver has drunk excessive alcohol). These emotions could be different than the evaluative component of an attitude. A sample of young people with experience in this risk behavior remembered to have felt two opposite emotions (happiness and fear) before, during and after performing it. This mixed emotional experience and attitude are the best predictors of behavioral intention. Our results indicate the importance of considering emotional experience as a moderator between attitude and behavioral intention.
