Abstract
While many of today's judgments and decisions are made under conditions of duress, empirical evidence is lacking for the effects that environmental stressors have on decision-making. Results of two laboratory studies suggest that stress exerts its effects on decision-making after, rather than during, exposure to the stressor. After-effects of stress include both increases in the use of heuristics (shortcutting strategies) and increased confidence in the decisions that are made. Future research questions raised by the present research, as well as practical implications for patient decision-making, are discussed.
