DISCUSS AND CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE LINK BETWEEN EMOTIONS AND DECISION MAKING

Essay title : Discuss and critically evaluate the link between emotions and decision making. Your response should start with a brief but relevant description of the biological/physiological structures of human emotions. Here you should focus on those aspects that are relevant to the topic. In the next section, you should describe and discuss the processes of these structures and how these are implicated in emotions. Ensure that this section refers to empirical evidence and draws on wider reading outside of material covered in our lectures. Next, discuss the extent to which these processes are involved in decision making and their workings. Ideally, this should also include material on the limitations of how emotions are implicated in decision making. Finally, your essay should close with a well-argued point about the link(s) between emotions and decision making and the limits of these. Essays that apply theoretical knowledge and provide supporting empirical evidence in a logical and critical manner to support the arguments made will receive better grades.
