When a person is faced with a dilemma must be aware that the decision will take will be influenced by evidence and feelings, as indicated by the Professor of Psychology at the University of Murcia José María Martínez Selva on his Membership in the Academy of Pharmacy of the Region.
For Martinez Selva, "or utilitarian rational models are not sufficient to explain how decisions are complex or uncertain situations that are possibly the greatest extent and that most concern us."
The university professor also noted that "for those who think that letting go in part because of the emotion can be a waiver or disadvantage should be aware that emotions may in some cases limited our ability to reason, but in other cases, help us in making decisions and make us more people in several ways. "
"The moral decisions, has said the lecturer, also need to emotion: the cold, rational judge may be the most ruthless and, in the words of Ortega y Gasset, the most unfair."
According to Martínez Selva, "the decisions also depend, in part, the memory of previous similar experiences and whether they were positive or not, that is, depend on the emotional memory of the event."
