“…A society confronted with an outbreak of an epidemic, a natural disaster, or a war can exert severe and multiple pressures on those making decisions critical to the life and health of society. Such "environmental influences," micro-and macro-causalities, and their impact on "the interaction between thought, affect and action" in the affected decision-makers (Bandura 1989, 3) have been examined and described mainly -but not exclusively -in social psychology, discourse psychology, organizational and professional psychology (e.g., de Araújo et al 2014;Castro de Araujo 2014;Berrios 2009;Philips et al 2004;Susser 1991;Mackie 1965;Mackie 1980;Cartwright 1979), in particular for clinical decision making contexts (e.g., Cioffi 2021;Borges et al 2020;Borkowska et al 2019;Patel et al 2018;Grady et al 2018;Milliken 2018;Epstein & Delgado 2010;Hamric et al 2006;O'Donnell et al 2008;Campbell et al 2018;Austin et al 2017;Wöhlke & Wiesemann 2016;Walston & Walston, 1982;Terris 1987).…”
