【 摘 要 】

Efficiently regulating our emotions can have important consequences for our survival. Whereas some situations ask for immediate action with no room left for doubts, such as when a fast-moving car is about to bump you from your bike at an intersection, other situations ask for careful consideration and reflection, such as when deciding whether to stop the life support of a beloved one. Both situations involve a life that is at risk, intense feelings and emotions and also demand a decision, albeit they cover very different timespans and differ on many other aspects as well. The current special issue includes 17 unique contributions and integrates different viewpoints on fundamental issues in the interaction between affect and cognition, gathering both empirical and theoretical contributions based on various approaches and methodologies from disciplines including cognitive psychology, social psychology, psychophysiology and neuroeconomics.
