Better Uncertain in the Woods Than Certain in the Backyard: How Does Emotional Uncertainty Affect Predicted Utility and Forecasting Error? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 288

Findings suggest that low certainty emotions lead to judgment with higher accuracy, as well as to a utility overprediction.
