The relationship between stress and decision-making is a critical area of research, given that many decisions are made under stressful conditions. Understanding how stress impacts decision-making processes can provide insights into both everyday choices and high-stakes scenarios.

Prosocial Behavior Under Stress:
Stress generally impairs decision-making by causing individuals to make hasty and less systematic choices, increasing risk-taking and reward-seeking behaviors. However, the effects of stress can vary based on the context, type of stressor, and individual differences. Interestingly, stress can also promote prosocial behavior in situations where the need for altruistic action is clear. Overall, while stress often leads to poorer decision outcomes, it can also drive adaptive and altruistic responses in specific scenarios.
