Abstract: Financial decisions are often assumed to be based on rational thinking and logical calculation. However, behavioral economics and psychology reveal that human emotion plays a crucial role in shaping financial judgment and market behavior. This paper explores how emotions—such as fear, anxiety, and overconfidence—affect individual and collective financial decision-making. Drawing on key theories in behavioral economics, including Prospect Theory and the concept of bounded rationality, this study analyzes the psychological factors that drive risk-taking, saving behavior, and investment choices. The paper also reviews the impact of emotional reactions during market fluctuations, demonstrating how panic selling or euphoric buying can amplify volatility. Moreover, it discusses how understanding emotional bias can lead to more effective financial education and policymaking. By integrating economic models with psychological insight, this study highlights the need for a balanced approach to decision-making that acknowledges both logic and emotion as essential components of human behavior in financial contexts.
