Scientists at the University of Murcia working on a research project funded by the Ministry of Science and Research that attempts to analyze the effect of incidental emotions in decision-making.
The research, conducted by a team of scientists led by Professor José María Martínez Selva, trying to figure out how these emotions affect incidental, which are those that occur before and can guide the decision one way or another, depending on mood in which the person is located.
These teachers say that "if we're tired or cranky because of work we can react in a manner to a request or a simple question from a relative or friend, whereas if we are in a good mood or euphoria we'll do another."
"Similarly, they add, the decisions we make are not the same when we are in a good or bad mood."
This team has previous jobs that show that when a person is in a positive mood tends to react in the tasks of decision making riskier choices, whereas when their emotions are more negative, often opt for decisions more conservative.
The research started now dedicated to advancing the understanding of the role of the physiological changes that accompany emotions when making a decision.
The other three members of the team are Juan Pedro Sánchez Navarro, Ginesa Torrente Hernandez and Francisco Alberto García Sánchez.
