Impulsive hostile crime is a severe social issue, whose psychological triggering mechanism still lacks systematically theoretical explanation. This paper is based on the chain of emotion, cognition and behavior, and connect them with a line relation as Emotion-Cognition-Behavior chain, to build the modeling theory used for explaining the psychological process of this category of crimes. This modeling theory blends "the General Agrresion Model" and "Adjustable Interpretation of Emotions", pointing out that strong negative emotions can induce impulsive hostile behavior by influencing cognitive evaluation and behavioral decision-making in specific contexts. Research has found that the interaction between emotional stimuli (such as anger) and cognitive biases is an important cause of sudden impulsive aggressive behavior. This study deepens the understanding of the psychological mechanism of hostile crimes, providing theoretical basis for prevention and intervention of sudden hostile crimes.
