The Monty Hall dilemma (MHD) presents an intriguing choice anomaly that   offers insight into human reasoning. It presents a specific subclass of   decision tasks that require the adequate use of Bayes theorem in order to   make optimal decisions. In the MHD, participants are presented with three   doors with only one door hiding the prize. After their initial choice of a   door, they are offered additional information. A different door (one that   does not hide the prize and one not chosen by the participant) is opened to   reveal nothing behind it. Afterwards, the participants are offered to stay   with their initial choice or to switch to the other remaining door. The   better strategy is to always switch; a counterintuitive one for most people.   We examine the notorious difficulty of the MHD from an affective perspective   while relying on the dual processing approach to thinking. We varied   participants’ reliance on their affective reactions as opposed to a neutral   condition and hypothesized that the affective reactions associated with the   staying option contribute to worse performance on the task. Indeed, the   participants in the affective condition chose the staying option more often   than our control participants. Using the MHD as an appropriate paradigm of   conditional probability reasoning we show that, for this type of task, an   affective strategy is highly inefficient. We attribute these results to the   affective reactions associated with the staying option, with regret avoidance   associated with the switch option, and the conditional probability   construction of the dilemma
