The influence of affect on higher level cognition: A review of research on interpretation, judgement, decision making and reasoning (2010, background): “Calvo and Castillo (2001a) extended this by examining the possibility that anxiety may increase the speed at which emotion congruent (i.e., threat-related) inferences are drawn compared to neutral inferences and to a control group.”
A Metacognitive Approach to Reconsidering Risk Perceptions and Uncertainty: Understand Information Seeking During COVID-19 (2020, background): “But research does reveal an intertwined relationship between uncertainty, risk perceptions, and emotions (Calvo & Castillo, 2001).”
Stress, Cognition, and Human Performance: A Literature Review and Conceptual Framework (2013, background): “Calvo and Castillo (2001) examined the effect of negative affect on decision making and found that anxious individuals were more likely to make inferences that were mood-based than individuals who were not anxious.”
