The role of emotions in decision-making processes, finds confirmation in the analysis of brain activity: the emotional systems, as well as automatic ones in fact represent a fundamental contribution in the formation of the decisions on the part of the consumer. In addition to some experiments show that a malfunction of the emotional systems does not allow the decision-making system to work autonomously. Interesting aspect, especially in the context of the traditional methods of marketing (focus group and interviews) is the function performed by the deliberative system. This system is in fact responsible for the rational justification of the behavior and by neuroscientifici studies showed that it is not able to exert its influence on the decision-making systems that take place below the level of awareness, but on the contrary, in justifying the behaviors performed by the subject, amplifies the importance of the processes that is able to manage, thus providing a justification not objective of what is happening in the brain.

The decision-making process has been analyzed in several disciplines (economics, social sciences, humanities, etc.) with the aim of creating models to help decision-makers in strategy formulation. The Organizational theory takes into account both the decision-making process of individuals and groups of a company. Numerous models have been built, which include a wide range of psychological, environmental, hierarchical factors, all of which only account the notion of rationality. In time, such concept has come to be considered pragmatically unrealistic and unachievable. Emotions have recently acquired an increasingly significant position (in the academic and economic society) as important component of the decision making-process. From this point of view neuroscience, the new branch of medical sciences could play a key role in studying individual decision-making processes. This article suggests that thanks to neuroscience it is possible to overcome current limitations in economics studies, for individual's choices, which are exclusively based on the rational component.

Handbook of Developments in Consumer Behaviour

The Behavioral Perspective Model (BPM) of purchase and consumption (Foxall, 1990) aims to improve understanding of behaviourism, intentionality and cognition in the explanation of consumer choice. The initial phase of the BPM research programme has been to examine an extensional explanation of choice (based on radical behaviourism). This perspective has been adopted in order, first, to establish the boundaries of so parsimonious an approach to explanation and, secondly, to identify the scope for intentional and cognitive explanations ...

Traditional methods used in marketing research focus on the rationality of individuals and the conscious processes they are able to analyse and verbally expose. Developments in the field of neuroscience have proven that emotions are the fundamental basis from which the thoughts, behaviours and actions of individuals emerge. Thus, this paper explains the importance of the emotional dimension both in consumer decision-making and in measuring the impact of marketing activities. The purpose of the article is to indicate the current position of the use of neuromarketing and its tools in the analysis of consumer behaviour and show how an important role is played by emotions and the unconscious part of consumers’ minds during purchasing decisions. It is a review article, based on interdisciplinary knowledge, which brings to the fore new possibilities of studying not only the observed behaviour of consumers but also their minds — including decision-making processes, as well as the role of e...

It is to go out in publishing my work entitled Economics Cognitive Emotional. If anyone finds it interesting topic we can establish collaborative synergies through seminars on the subject In this book we will examine the implications of neuroscience findings in detail with respect to four specific economic issues: intertemporal choice, decision making in situations of risk and uncertainty, game theory, and the emotional-cognitive behavioral discriminant analysis. Finally, although our focus will be on the application of neuroscience to the economy, nothing prevents that there are intellectual exchange also in the opposite direction. Even basic economic ideas could be very useful to nuroscienze, because the biggest difficulty is to find out how the variables and economic algorithms are represented in the different areas of the brain, and to succeed you must have neuroscientists and economists, on some level, to work together. In general, this issue pertains to the "decision theory" ("Decision Theory" in the diction predominant Anglo-Saxon), crossroads of a wide range of disciplines, from statistics to psychology, philosophy, cybernetics, until, in fact, the 'economy. It is a set of research, the focus on "conduct directed at a specific target in the presence of different options" is in turn dated somewhere in that yet wider field of behavioral studies, who settled in the early decades of the twentieth century with the 'attempt to encompass in a single view the whole of human conduct, and gradually evolved into complex cognitive science.

Decades of classic economic research have neglected the role of incidental and integral emotional factors in human decision-making. Standard economic models assume that decision-making is consequentialist in nature: Decision-making is postulated to be guided by the decision maker’s rational assessment of desirability and likelihood of alternative outcomes, i.e., by his strive to maximize utility (Rick & Loewenstein, 2008). However, advances in psychology and behavioral economics led to the gradual acceptance of incidental and integral emotion-related forces on decision-making. Still, we particularly lack detailed insight into the neurobiological mechanisms of the interaction between emotion and decision-making. The purpose of this dissertation was to gain a more detailed understanding of these neurobiological substrates of the modulatory effects of different emotion-related factors on decision-making. To this end, four studies investigated different aspects of this interaction with ...
