Question: Guilt in decision making. The effect of guilt emotion on how a decision maker focuses on the problem was investigated in the Jan. 2007 issue of the Journal of Behavioral Decision. Making (see Exercises 1.26 and 3.40, pp. 24 and 139—140). A total of 171 volunteer students participated in the experiment, where each was randomly amigned to one of three emotional states (guilt. anger, or neutral) through a readinglwriting task. Immediately after the task. students were presented with a decision problem where the stated option has predominantly negative features (eg, spending money on repairing a very old car). The results (number responding in each category) are summarized in the accompanying table. Is there sufficient ew’dence (at α = .10) to claim that the option choice depends on emotional state? Use the data saved in the GUILT file to answer the question
| Emotional State | Choose Stated option | Do not choose stated option | Total |
