The main objective of this article is to investigate the relationship between negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, sadness, fear, stress and decision-making. According to the findings, negative emotions seriously affect the decision-making process. Also, stress, in addition to increasing the impact of negative emotions, plays an important role in disrupting cognitive processes and therefore the decision-making process. Thus, this article focuses on how negative emotions and stress interact with each other and their roles in decision-making and how they affect it.
