“…In this task, the S1 cue is used to induce expectation about valence (positive/neutral/negative) and outcome probability of S2. Wiese et al (2022) manipulated the probability by having either a fully predictive S1 cue (low Running Head: Editorial for SI uncertainty) or S1 cue providing no information (high uncertainty). The authors focused on two specific ERP components previously linked to emotional processing: Stimulus Preceding Negativity (SPN) which reflects anticipatory activity, and the Late Positive Potential (LPP) which reflects reactive activity.…”

“…Generally speaking, in previous studies, decision expectation is often measured directly before decision‐making or cognitive processing in decision selection stage, lacking posterior analysis in decision feedback stage (Wiese et al., 2022). We reflect the influence of emotion on risk decision expectation through ERP component analysis in decision feedback stage, which provides empirical basis for posterior analysis of decision expectation.…”

IntroductionPrevious research has found that incidental emotions of different valences (positive/negative/neutral) influence risky decision‐making. However, the mechanism of their influence on psychological expectations of decision outcomes remains unclear.MethodsWe explored the effects of different incidental emotions on the behavioral, psychological, and electrophysiological responses of individuals in risky decision‐making through a money gambling task using a one‐way (emotion type: positive, negative, neutral emotions) between‐subjects experimental design.ResultsIndividuals with positive emotions had significantly greater risk‐seeking rates than those with negative emotions during the decision selection phase (p < .01). In the feedback stage of decision outcomes, individuals showed stronger perceptions of uncertainty in the decision environment under gain and loss feedback compared with neutral feedback, as evidenced by a more positive P2 component (i.e., the second positive component of an event‐related potential). Positive emotions produced greater than expected outcome bias than neutral emotions, as evidenced by a more negative FRN component (i.e., the feedback‐related negativity component).ConclusionOur results suggest that positive emotions increase individuals’ psychological expectations of decision outcomes. This study provides new empirical insights to understand the influence of incidental emotions on risky decision outcome expectations.

“…Importantly, in individuals with emotional disorders, and/or those with anxious traits, more reliable attentional bias to threat is observed, when the threat stimuli are particularly relevant to the individual (e.g. spider stimuli are Notably, only a handful of studies have examined how IU affects attentional processing of uncertainty-based information (Del Cristaldi et al, 2021;Fergus et al, 2013;Fergus & Carleton, 2016;Morriss & McSorley, 2019;Morriss et al, 2017;Wiese et al, 2023). A seminal study by Fergus et al (2013) highlighted that higher IU was associated with faster identification of word stimuli related to uncertainty (e.g., 'maybe'), compared to control word stimuli related to household items (e.g.…”

Attentional biases to negative information are often observed in emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. Recently, Fergus et al. (Cognitive Therapy and Research 37:735-741, 2013) demonstrated that participants scoring high in Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU), a transdiagnostic risk factor for emotional disorders, were faster at identifying targets with uncertainty-based information (e.g., word stimuli such as ‘maybe’), relative to neutral information (e.g. word stimuli related to household items). Moreover, this effect was specific to IU over other anxious traits such as worry. This report aimed to conceptually replicate the results of Fergus et al. (Cognitive Therapy and Research 37:735-741, 2013). The current experiment was conducted with a student sample (n = 126). As in the original study, a visual search task with uncertainty-based and neutral information (e.g., word stimuli) was used. Reaction times were collected. IU and trait anxiety was measured via self-report. We partially replicated the results of Fergus et al. (Cognitive Therapy and Research 37:735-741, 2013). We found that higher IU was significantly associated with faster identification of uncertainty-based information, relative to neutral information. However, we also observed a similar pattern of results for trait anxiety. Additionally, we observed no specificity of IU or trait anxiety in predicting faster identification of uncertainty-based information, relative to neutral information. Despite the lack of specificity of IU or trait anxiety in predicting attentional bias to uncertainty-based information, these findings highlight that negative emotionality may be generally associated with attentional biases to uncertainty-based information in the absence of direct threat.
