The connection between emotions & decision-making

Emotions can influence our thinking and decision-making. Imagine you had a bad day at school and come home to find your room a mess. Your emotion (frustration) might lead you to decide to clean your room, a decision you might not have made otherwise.

This is a model that includes emotions in the process of decision-making. It's like if your brain had a toolkit filled with different decision-making strategies. The strategies you use depend on the situation.

Classic models thought of humans as supercomputers, capable of making fully rational decisions.

That's why we use simpler strategies, like picking the easier option instead of the best one.
