Decisionmaking under Stress
A new review bad on a rearch shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) conquences of a decision.
The rearch suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.
“Stress affects how people learn，” says Professor Mara Mather.“People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”
For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像)with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stress
ed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stresd by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cas, the stresd participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than tho who hadn't gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress—at tho moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative conquences are also easily recalled.
The rearch also found that stress appears to affect decisionmaking differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on conquences under stress, their respons to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stresd by the coldwater task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which ri
sktaking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.

One day, Jack threw some papers on my desk. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, and left. I had made just one small change. But it’s not that I hadn’t been warned. My colleagues had said he was responsible for the resignations of the two previous cretaries. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.
