It has almost become a truism that emotions are an integral part of risk perception and behavior. Emotions guide attention, shape the way information is processed, both affect and are affected by judgments, and motivate behavior. Most researchers agree that emotions are associated with appraisals of events relevant to an individual’s concerns. For many discrete emotions, such appraisals seem immediately implied by the semantics of the emotion. Examples include fear arising from an anticipated threat and sadness as a response to an experienced loss. In this seminar, we aim to address the question of what we know about how people’s mental models of an event may reflect and incorporate their emotional reactions to that event, and what challenges arise when studying this relationship.
