In daily life, we are not always successful in reaching our goals. For example, if we go to the casino and lose at the slot machine, it might make us feel as if we want to hit the spin button really hard. Other times, we take a pause to consider our next options #thesisThread 1/7
I work on how people react to these failures to reach their goals. What determines whether we want to act rashly (what we think is being impulsive)?
Are there situations that cause rash actions in all of us or does it only happen for people that we would consider ‘impulsive’? 2/7
