"Tiedens and Linton (2001) posit that, ―the experience associated with some emotions, such as anger and contentment, can lead to feelings of certainty, while emotions such as surprise, fear and worry can lead individuals to feel uncertain or unsure about their current situation (973). As Tiedens and Linton (2001) argue, the uncertainty which emerges from affect leads individuals to a state of ―bounded rationality. According to Croskerry (2002), ―this is significant for reasoning ability in that individuals in a state of emotionally aroused bounded rationality may fail to consider other important information presented once they have reviewed information that satisfies their own interest (1186). Particularly, individuals might miss specific details or cues needed to better reason. Consequently, when individuals are in a heightened affective state, they might be less likely to process information efficiently, and subsequently, be incapable of attaining a rational conclusion."
