Missing emotions: the Z-axis of collective behavior

Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Feb;37(1):83-5. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X13001738.

Abstract

Bentley et al. bypass the relevance of emotions in decision-making, resulting in a possible over-simplification of behavioral types. We propose integrating emotions, both in the north-south axis (in relation to cognition) as well as in the west-east axis (in relation to social influence), by suggesting a Z-axis, in charge of registering emotional depth and involvement.
