Being Emotional During Decision Making—Good or Bad? an Empirical Investigation
通过101名股票投资者在20个交易日中的模拟投资实验，发现情绪体验更强烈的投资者决策表现更好，且能更好识别和区分自身情绪的人通过增强对情绪偏差的控制而表现更优。
This paper examines the link between affective experience and decision-making performance. In a stock investment simulation, 101 stock investors rated their feelings on an Internet Web site while making investment decisions each day for 20 consecutive business days. Contrary to the popular belief that feelings are generally bad for decision making, we found that individuals who experienced more intense feelings achieved higher decision-making performance. Moreover, individuals who were better able to identify and distinguish among their current feelings achieved higher decision-making performance via their enhanced ability to control the possible biases induced by those feelings.
