Southall et al. (2007)

Southall et al. (2007) conducted a study exploring how social and emotional factors influence the way people make decisions and judge others. They found that emotions and social experiences significantly shape our judgments and choices, sometimes leading to biases or different perceptions. The research emphasizes that understanding these psychological influences is important for improving decision-making processes in various settings, such as workplaces or healthcare. Essentially, their findings highlight that our feelings and social context are deeply intertwined with how we interpret information and make judgments.
