Review of Incidental Emotional States and Rationality

The relation between emotion and rationality is assessed by reviewing empirical findings from multiple disciplines.Two types of emotional phenomena are examined: incidental emotional states and integral emotional responses,and three conceptions of rationality are considered: logical,material and ecological.It is focused on the effects of incidental emotional states on reasoning,belief accuracy,self-control and risk-taking.It is concluded that any categorical statement about the overall rationality or irrationality of emotion may be simplistic and misleading.
