Within the concept of emotions, integral and incidental emotions are distinguished. The first ones are produced within the situation in which an individual decides and are thus relevant to the respective decision; in contrast, the latter do not arise from the decision at hand. Rather they carry over from another, preceding situation or incident and are basically irrelevant to the actual decision – at least from a normative perspective (Bachkirov 2015; Lerner, Li, Valdesolo & Kassam 2015).
