"FOOLs RUSH IN": A JDM PERSPECTIVE ON THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS IN DECISIONS, MORAL AND OTHERWISE

Research in judgment and decision making (JDM) has recently started to take a serious interest in decision-related emotions, after largely ignoring them in its theoretical models and empirical studies for many years. This interest converges with, and partially overlaps, a growing interest in moral philosophy in the mental processes involved in human moral judgment, which has also been concerned with issues of emotion, feeling, and intuition. This chapter samples studies in both traditions with a view to building some bridges between the two.
