Popis: How we feel is known to influence the decisions we make. Specifically, people in negative affective states tend to make more ‘pessimistic’ decisions than those in positive affective states in response to uncertainty. We aim to confirm that individuals with negative trait affect make more pessimistic decisions when faced with ambiguous stimuli, and to determine how negative trait affect influences decision-making processes at the individual level by applying computational modelling. Further to this, we aim to differentiate between how anxiety versus depression symptoms influence decision-making under ambiguity.
