Building on our results of the first funding period regarding the motivational determinants of dynamic risk perception and risk taking, we will continue to investigate how people cope with exposure to critical events. We will target the different influences of affect depending on the individual’s mindset (preparedness). We will explore whether changes in the individual preparedness through the induction of mindsets influences the openness for affect-rich information and motivational interventions. Moreover, we will investigate how if-then plans can help people to mitigate external influences on risk taking in different domains (e.g., social, health).In Work Package 1, we will continue our work on PEC cycle trajectories in the laboratory (i.e., risk taking in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task, BART). More specifically, we will explore the role of affect-poor versus affect-rich feedback information (i.e., changes in the critical event itself) to systematically validate new, affect-incorporating predictions of mindset theory. To this end, we will experimentally manipulate exposure in the BART and preparedness by mindset inductions.In Work Package 2, we will advance our understanding of the effects of mindset induction on coping with motivational interventions in hazardously drinking individuals. We build on our observation that the combination of implemental mindsets with motivational interviewing influences actual risk behavior but not risk perceptions. We will devise new assessments of alcohol-related risk perceptions in student samples. Furthermore, we will target potential underlying processes (e.g., resistance to change, commitment), as well as compensation and generalization effects by including the assessment of alternative substances.In Work Package 3, we will investigate whether external and internal influences on risk taking can be self-regulated by task performance focused if-then plans. We expect such plans to be a beneficial coping tool for dealing with exposure to the critical events. In one experiment, we will administer a dose of testosterone and investigate its effect on risk taking in the BART as well as social risk taking. In two other studies, we will focus on the effects of unpleasant background noise and incidental anger on risk taking. Our research question pertains to whether these effects, although operating outside of conscious awareness can be self-regulated by task performance focused if-then plans.In general, P6 focuses on the dynamic aspects of coping with risk exposures. It shares the interest in the effects of mindsets on information processing with P1 ‘Contagious Risk Perception’ and on motivational interventions with P8 ‘Pathological Risk’. Through our overlaps on investigating alcohol consumption and hormonal influences on risk taking, we will further benefit greatly from an exchange with P4 ‘Prepared for Risk’ and P9 ‘Stress Risk’, respectively.

基于我们第一个资助期关于动态风险感知和冒险的动机决定因素的结果，我们将继续研究人们如何应对关键事件的影响，我们将根据个人的心态（准备程度）来针对影响的不同影响。 ）我们将探讨通过心态诱导改变个人准备是否会影响情感丰富的信息和动机干预的开放性。此外，我们将研究“如果-那么”计划如何帮助人们减轻不同风险承担的外部影响。域（例如，社会、健康）。在工作包 1 中，我们将继续在实验室中研究 PEC 循环轨迹（即气球模拟风险任务 (BART) 中的风险承担）。更具体地说，我们将探讨情感的作用。 - 不良反馈信息与情感丰富反馈信息（即关键事件本身的变化），以系统地验证新的、包含情感的心态理论预测。为此，我们将通过实验操纵 BART 中的暴露和影响。在工作包 2 中，我们将加深对心态诱导对危险饮酒个体应对动机干预的影响的理解。我们的观察是，实施心态与动机访谈的结合会影响实际的风险行为，但此外，我们将针对潜在的潜在过程（例如，对变革的抵制、承诺）以及替代方案的评估来制定新的评估。物质.In在工作包 3 中，我们将研究是否可以通过以任务绩效为中心的“如果-那么”计划来自我调节对风险承担的外部和内部影响。我们希望此类计划能够成为应对重大事件的有益应对工具。在实验中，我们将注射一定剂量的睾酮，并研究其对 BART 中的冒险行为以及社会冒险行为的影响。在另外两项研究中，我们将重点关注令人不快的背景噪音和偶然的愤怒对冒险行为的影响。问题涉及这些影响是否在意识之外运作可以通过以任务绩效为中心的“如果-那么”计划进行自我调节。一般来说，P6 侧重于应对风险暴露的动态方面，它与 P1“传染性风险感知”和“传染性风险感知”一样关注心态对信息处理的影响。 P8“病理风险”的动机干预 通过我们在调查饮酒和激素对冒险的影响方面的重叠，我们将分别从与 P4“准备风险”和 P9“压力风险”的交流中受益匪浅。
