Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2010.

Decisions are made based on values. How those values are determined has been the focus of much research from economics, but increasingly also neuroscience and psychology. In this dissertation, I investigate ways in which emotions play a role in decision-making and the assessment of value. In the first chapter, I examine how implicit affective associations, or implicit attitudes, toward racial groups may affect interpersonal interactions with monetary consequences. The degree of black/white implicit racial bias predicts the discrepancy in the ratings of and monetary offers to black and white partners in a Trust Game. Importantly, this contribution is above and beyond that of explicit measures of attitudes toward these racial groups. In the second and third chapters, I investigate how a different component of emotional responses, the physiological arousal response, may be related to the behavioral phenomenon of loss aversion. Participants take part in a monetary gambling task in which real money is at stake. The relative arousal response to loss outcomes compared to gain outcomes is shown to correlate with behaviorally estimated loss aversion. Additionally, participants complete a second complete set of choices with a perspective-taking strategy analogous to conventional emotion regulation strategies, focusing on broad bracketing. The perspective-taking strategy is shown to reduce loss aversion behaviorally, attenuate arousal responses to losses, and reduce amygdala activity in response to loss outcomes. Baseline shifts in activity are also shown in areas commonly associated with value representation, including the striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. These results demonstrate that emotion is a part of the assessment of value, but also that it can be regulated or shifted, just as can any other emotional response. More generally, these chapters argue that there is no one role of emotions in decision-making. Rather, the roles of emotion in decision-making are multiple, situation- and component-specific, and quantifiable. Our emotions are a part of our choices, and the investigation of emotions in decision-making can only improve our understanding of how we make choices.
