A Systematic Review on the Effects of Hypoxia on Decision Making

EasyChair Preprint 8960

Abstract

Hypoxia is a physiological state related to different environmental and pathological conditions. Recent evidence suggest impairments in cognitive function and socioemotional competence. The objective of this work is to identify, in a systematic review of the literature, evidences that hypoxia affects processes in moral decision making, as compared to a state of adequate supply of oxygen. Six studies of potential interest were found; none of them approaches moral dilemmas in conditions of experimental hypoxia. The limited presence in the current literature of research about moral decision making in hypoxia signals a potential research topic on an intervening factor in decision processes.

Keyphrases: Hypoxia, decision making, moral judgment
