Stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon in humans’ social environment that can have important consequences both for individuals as well as for society at large. Stress has a major impact on brain function and behaviour, and a wealth of research shows how both chronic and acute stress impact on memory and cognition. Less is known about how stress affects economic judgements, despite a recent surge in research aiming to uncover the neural basis for economic decision making.
The goal of this Symposium is to address the link between stress and social economic decision-making by bringing together leading scientists from the fields of economics, psychology and neuroscience. Experts on stress, emotion, psychopathology and behavioural and neural economics will present their experimental approaches. The symposium includes an overview of current research as well as a debate on where more research is needed, and emphasis is placed on discussions and interactions. There will be a poster session during lunch and coffee breaks and an aperitif for all participants at the end of the symposium.
