Interplay between Emotionality, Fairness, and Decision Making: Evidence Accumulation Rate Is Associated with the Interaction between Fairness Sensitivity and Trait Emotional Intelligence in Decision Making

Our finding provides a mechanistic insight to social decisions that are difficult to gain by studying final choices alone (e.g., acceptance rate).
