Taken together, however, studies on affective decision making in adolescents with ID are still rare, and this chapter’s conclusions are best considered tentative.īased on the state of the literature, future research directions are proposed and implications for supporting adolescents with ID in affective decision making are discussed. Also, risks of negative peer influence may be reduced by instruction with a decision-making curriculum. Data from intervention studies suggest that provision of support in cognitive decision making can positively impact affective decision making. This was found with regard to immediate impact on decisions involving risk-taking and also to some extent with regard to the long-term socialization of behavioral problems related to affective control. Furthermore, adolescents with ID show increased susceptibility to peer influence, which may impact their affective decision making. In light of this, the current chapter reviews the state of research on how adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) make affective decisions, with a special focus on the role of peers.Įvidence suggests adolescents with ID face challenges in cognitive decision making that can contribute to problems in their affective decision making processes. A lack of either can contribute to risk-taking behaviors and social vulnerability. In such situations both cognitive and affective control are necessary for optimal decision making.
Adolescents are frequently faced with decisions characterized by an affective component, such as those that take place among peers or include the promise of a reward.
