Abstract
The growth of a robust body of research examining emotions and decision and an unprecedented societal focus on behavioral prevention of disease suggests that now is the time to leverage emotion science to improve health and healthcare. Extending the appraisal tendency framework, we predict how emotions may interact with situational factors to improve or degrade health-related decisions. We also discuss how policy makers can leverage emotional influences on judgment and decision making to improve health decisions and healthcare. Our review examines four categories of judgments and thought processes of clear relevance to health decisions: risk perception, valuation and reward seeking, interpersonal attribution, and depth of information processing. By building on prior research and theory, we illustrate ways in which a better understanding of emotion can improve judgments and choices regarding health.
