emotions are crucial in driving decisions. Damasio’sresearchsuggests that emotions can override rational thought during decision-making processes. The study found that consumers who made decisions based on emotional responses were able to rationalize their choices afterward, making emotional decisions seem ...
That’s the affect heuristic in action, where you make a decision based on what you’re feeling. Emotions are important ways to understand the world around us, but using them to make decisions is irrational and can impact your work. For example, let’s say you’re about to ask your ...
This paper presents a model of pedestrian crossing decisions based on the theory of computational rationality. It is assumed that crossing decisions are boundedly optimal, with bounds on optimality arising from human cognitive constraints. While previous models of pedestrian behaviour have been either ‘...
To emulate dual-system cognitive processing in signaling theory, we employ decision trees (DT) and neural network (NN) models. Decision trees are well-suited for heuristic processing as they rely on quick, rule-based decisions using a straightforward if–then logic, which mirrors how humans make...
we need to take into account the interaction of humans with the machines and consider important path-dependencies that might emerge from this interaction. Research on the interaction of humans with information has shown that the very push for more ‘evidence-based’ decisions amplifies political biase...

[71] Furthermore, both behaviors and emotions are manifestations of evolutionary-based moral awareness including safe/unsafe, growth/protection, helpful/harmful, fairness/unfairness, truth/falsehood and so on; all linking back to basic feelings of like/dislike/neutral and behaviors of pursue, avoid ...
Culture,Beauty and aesthetics:deeper beliefs about beauty and how they affect consumption of cosmetics; and how culture and cultural symbols (statues, images, buildings) affect emotions as well aesthetic and other judgments; (Elliot Chan testing synchronised eye-tracking and EEG at a library at Norw...
research on emotions in the strategic decision-making context has focused on valence-based conceptualizations of emotions, i.e. on positive vs. negative emotions. For example, Døjbak Håkonsson et al. (2016) have associated positive emotions with more explorative strategies, while Amabile et al...
Signaling has some overlap with nudging, which means that nudging could potentially provide a theoretical lens for this research as well. Rooted in the psychological literature, nudging is based on the assumption that humans are prone to bias in their decision-making due to bounded rationality (Sim...
