Abstract: Current researches suggested that high level of anxiety would lead to risk-avoidant decision-making, and it was proposed that some important influencing factors might be responsible for this trend, including the cognitive resource factor, the information processing factor, the probability bias factor and the emotion regulation factor. This article introduced these factors with the biological and psychological proofs of them. However, there is still a lack of a relatively complete theoretical system

Key words: nxiety, decision-making, risk-averse
