All emerging evidence seems to suggest that by and large, affect is fundamental to and essential for making decisions that one can live with and be committed to. In several of my recent studies, I show that individuals with a more muted emotional circuitry have trouble making committed decisions, which manifests in a greater propensity to change one’s mind following a decision. Affect seems to play its role in making committed decisions by promoting what is called pre-decision distortion-distorting information in favor of the affect-laden option. The result is a clear dominance structure, where the affect-laden option clearly dominates the other options in the choice set.
