As a classical task of measuring individual decisions based on emotions, the Iowa gambling task and influencing factors had always been paid attention. The research adopted Iowa gambling task to compare task scores of two kinds subjects under different traits anxiety level. The Results showed that there was a significant difference in task scores between different traits anxiety level individuals.

It revealed that traits anxiety level as a personality factor will exert influence on the Iowa gambling task scores.
