To address the lack of a systematic design pathway for risk emotion intervention in disaster response and public safety, this study takes the two-stage characteristics of the fear emotion as the core to construct an operable design intervention framework for risk emotions. Based on risk perception and emotion regulation theories, a theoretical framework is established to analyze the two-stage evolutionary path of fear. An intervention pathway framework is constructed from three dimensions of information design, environmental cues, and embodied cognition. Through verification with typical cases in industrial safety and medical fields, a dual-regulation pathway of "effective warning - anxiety relief" for risk emotions is developed. The study defines intervention objectives for the alert and anxiety stages of risk emotions, and proposes a synergistic mechanism through which the three pathways regulate risk emotions. By means of design intervention, a controllable balance is achieved between activating necessary alertness and avoiding excessive anxiety. By introducing the two-stage characteristics of the fear emotion, integrating the three-dimensional pathways of information design, environmental cues, and embodied cognition, and proposing the bipolar regulation mechanism, this study transforms emotional mechanisms into designable regulatory targets, thereby providing an implementable interdisciplinary design intervention methodology for high-risk scenarios such as public disasters and industrial safety.
