This article analyzes rational decision-making in court as an emotive-cognitive process formed in and through social interaction. Current theoretical perspectives have shown how emotion and thought are intertwined in the workings of the human brain but have seldom elaborated on the contextual and structural features of rational-emotional decision-making. I propose a model that maps emotional processes and emotional management demands to the temporally extended, stepwise process of rational-legal decision-making. I show that (a) the bounded structure of the decision-making process actualizes different emotive-cognitive complexes at different stages and (b) the demand for objectivity in rational decision-making calls for parallel emotional processes and subject positions to remain independent while sustaining social cohesion.

共同独立决策：司法裁判中的理性情绪

本文将法庭上的理性决策分析为一种在社会互动中形成并通过社会互动形成的情感认知过程。当前的理论观点已经表明情感和思想如何在人类大脑的运作中交织在一起，但很少详细阐述理性情绪决策的背景和结构特征。我提出了一个模型，将情绪过程和情绪管理需求映射到理性-法律决策的时间扩展、逐步过程。我表明（a）决策过程的有界结构在不同阶段实现了不同的情感认知复合体，以及（b）理性决策中对客观性的需求要求平行的情感过程和主体位置在维持独立的同时保持独立社会凝聚力。
