Abstract
Abstract Emotions profoundly shape human thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. This chapter explores the interplay between emotion and decision making, examining the neurological and biological underpinnings involving the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. Key theories, such as James-Lange and Schachter-Singer, provide insights into emotional processes. Emotions influence cognition, enhancing or hindering perception, memory, and problem-solving. Strategies for emotional regulation and improving emotional intelligence are discussed, highlighting their impact on decision-making across cultural and individual differences.
