“affect... has rarely been recognized as an important component in human judgment and decision making. Perhaps befitting its rationalistic origins, the main focus of descriptive decision research has been cognitive, rather than affective” Slovic et al. (2002) Affect “... affective reactions to stimuli are often the very first reactions, occurring automatically and subsequently guiding information processing and judgment.” Slovic et al. (2005)
