eview ecision making under stress : A selective review
@inproceedings{Starckea2012eviewEM, title={eview ecision making under stress : A selective review}, author={atrin Starckea and Matthias Branda}, year={2012} }
Many decisions must be made under stress, and many decision situations elicit stress responses themselves. Thus, stress and decision making are intricately connected, not only on the behavioral level, but also on the neural level, i.e., the brain regions that underlie intact decision making are regions that are sensitive to stress-induced changes. The purpose of this review is to summarize the findings from studies that investigated the impact of stress on decision making. The review includes…Â

Acute Stress Modulates Risk Taking in Financial Decision Making
- PsychologyPsychological science
- 2009
Participants' choices exhibited a stronger reflection effect when participants were under stress than when they were in the no-stress control phase, suggesting that stress modulates risk taking, potentially exacerbating behavioral bias in subsequent decision making.
Anticipatory stress influences decision making under explicit risk conditions.

The results indicate that stress can lead to disadvantageous decision making even when explicit and stable information about outcome contingencies is provided.
Decisions Under Distress
- PsychologyPsychological science
- 2009
The importance of considering profiles of cardiovascular reactivity when examining the influence of stress on decision making is demonstrated, with participants assigned to social-feedback conditions designed to engender challenge or threat, or a no-stress condition.

Decision making under stress: scanning of alternatives under controllable and uncontrollable threats.
- PsychologyJournal of personality and social psychology
- 1987
Those who were exposed to either controllable or uncontrollable stress showed a significantly stronger tendency to offer solutions before all available alternatives had been considered and to scan their alternatives in a nonsystematic fashion than did participants who were not exposed to stress.

Gender differences in reward-related decision processing under stress.

- 2012
The findings of this study indicate that the impact of stress on reward-related decision processing differs depending on gender, such that stress led to greater reward collection and faster decision speed in males but less Reward collection and slower decision speeds in females.
The effects of insula damage on decision-making for risky gains and losses
- PsychologySocial neuroscience
- 2009
Results suggest that risky decision-making is dependent on the integrity of a neural circuitry that includes several brain regions known to be critical for the experience and expression of emotions, namely the insula, amygdala, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
The role of strategies in deciding advantageously in ambiguous and risky situations
- PsychologyCognitive Processing
- 2008
Results indicate that deciding advantageously in a decision-making task with explicit and stable rules is linked to applying calculative strategies, and support the view that calculative processes and strategies may improve decision- making under explicit risk conditions.
