Resumen:
This study had as an aim the evaluation of the effect of positive, negative and neutral emotional states on risky decision making. 91 undergraduate students between 18 and 27 years were assessed (M(Age)=21,92; SD±2,09). For emotional induction film clips were used and to assess emotional experience, Self Assessment Manikin (SAM) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were reported before, during and after of induction. To evaluate risky decision making, Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) was administered. Repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed an interaction effect of time and type of induction on VAS scores [F(4, 90)=2.89; p.05; ŋ2p =.14]. Post hoc analysis indicated that participants under a positive emotion won more points in BART than participants under neutral and negative emotion. Scores in BART are considered as a measure of risk because indicate larger pumps in every balloon. This result is coherent with several previous studies that indicated that youngs under positive events and with a positive urgency trait showed more risky behaviors.
