Inside Out: How Anger Impacts Judgment And Decision-Making

Our emotions affect us in so many ways. Emotions affect the way we behave, our views and opinions, our relationships and our decision-making; therefore, they are very relevant to our day-to-day lives. It is important that people have an understanding of these emotions and that they are able to interpret them. Emotions can both help and hinder our ability to best live our lives. It is also important to realize that even our emotions are shaped and biased by our environment and those close to us.

Humans make decisions many times a day, but what truly influences us to make the choices that we do? Are we controlled by our inherited traits and what we as people were born with, or does it have to do more with how one was raised in adolescence?

Jennifer S. Lerner, author of Emotion and Decision Making, talks about how our emotions can actively affect our actions. In Lerner’s book, it states, “We start with emotions arising from the judgement or a choice at hand, a type of emotion that strongly and routinely shapes decision making.” Our emotions cause us to make certain decisions in our everyday lives. For example a person who is feeling nervous and anxious about a specific outcome of a risky situation may choose a more safe route. A person who admires an organization may donate money. In both cases, our the way we feel about something or someone determines how we address a situation and how we treat someone or something. In some way our emotions act as our conscience in each situation we go through that requires us to choose an outcome .

Acting upon anger is rarely positive; it often results in rash, regretful acts of violence and hatred. However, that usually fails to stop people from making reckless decisions in heated moments of emotion and aggression. The destruction that anger causes is most likely to be counter-productive and does not fix the problem at hand.

Firstly, it is obvious that we are faced with decisions every day ranging from trivial to vastly important. There are different factors that can affect all of the choices people make. Some of these factors are past experience, individual differences, and the situation. The most critical of these is the situation, although it is commonly overlooked. Usually people will attribute personal

The most important factor in why people choose to do something is personal experience. If a person has an experience, whether it is good or bad, they will understand what the other person is going through and try to help them.

Inside Out is a Disney-Pixar film in which a girl, Riley Anderson has her entire world flipped upside down when her father’s job forces them to relocate from Minnesota to San Francisco. Disney worked with scientists to make this as realistic as possible, it is still readerly. There is no room for interpretation of the movie, even if someone noticed something new about it each time they watched, it would still be the same. Regardless of it’s readerly nature, I enjoyed this movie more compared to other Disney movies that are the run of the mill love story.

Choices that people make have a giant place in their lives. Most of us consider that we do these choices freely, that we have free will to make these choices. The point that most of us miss is free will is not simple as is it looks like. When one makes choices doesn’t he consider that what would that choices lead him to? Therefore does he make those choices for his benefits or his desires to make those choices? Does the environment push him to make those choices or does he have the free will to ignore his own environment? Philosopher and writes splits around those questions. There is different thesis, beliefs about free will. Some say that we are conditioned from birth with qualities of our personality, social standing and attitudes. That

Anger is a choice! This is a concept I have never thought about before. I have been one of those that foolishly followed Satan’s cunning strategy that Elder Lynn G. Robbins talked about in his May 1998 Ensign address “Agency and Anger”. Elder Robbins stated, “A cunning part of his strategy is to dissociate anger from agency, making us believe that we are victims of an emotion that we cannot control”.

Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.

Many factors influence anger. Most anger is caused by a situation that makes one feel uncomfortable (Licata 14). This uncomfortable feeling could also be described as feeling threatened. Feeling threatened could lead to angry feelings because a threat can cause harm. Things that could make one feel threatened include disapproval, betrayal, deprivation, exploitation, manipulation, frustration, violence, and humiliation (Gaylin 95).

Decision making is one of the severe problems that happen to a lot of people. It is even harder when you are not in a good state of mind. An anonymous once said ‘you don’t make major life decisions when you’re reeling from a loss’ because when you are in a state of loss or disappointment your mind is not thinking through. Hence, people intend to make an imprudent decision in unsteadiness state of mind. Every action has its consequences. Thus, it is vital to an individual to think thoroughly before making any decision. The current state of mind might be an important factor in decision making when a person’s mood is correspondence with the task or situation (Guzak, 2014). The journal is to find out the differences in the decision made by an individual in
