lthough it has long been believed that humans are very rational beings, today, human "thoughtlessness" in decision making is very familiar to us. It is for this reason that people make risky decisions. Risky decisions involve different psychological processes - affective processes are more prominent for some decisions, while rational decisions are more dominant for others. To learn more about the decision-making process, clinicians and neuropsychologists evaluate this process using behavioural measures using a variety of tasks that are based on one of the leading decision-making theories - the dual-process theory. The dual-process theory states that there are two separate paths for decision making. One is emotional or "hot", it's fast, automatic and most of the time we're not aware of it, while the other is a rational or "cold", slow, deliberate and we're usually aware of it. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of emotions on risky decision making. In the research, participants were initially exposed to emotional induction using short video sequences from three different films, and then approached the Columbia Card Task (CCT), which measures both affective ("hot") and rational ("cold") decision-making processes using two parallel versions of the task. The study involved 89 subjects, of which 75 were female, and 14 were male students of psychology at the Catholic University of Croatia. The average age of the participants was 21 years. The results showed more risky decision-making in tasks that stimulate reactive decision-making than in tasks that stimulate rational decision-making, while the effect does not depend on emotional induction. Furthermore, no significant effect of emotional induction on risk-taking propensity was found.
