We are currently working on a meta-analysis that examines the effects of stress on decisions under uncertainty. We are interested in studies that examine the influence of acutely induced laboratory stress on subsequent decision making in healthy humans. Stress should be induced with a stress test (e.g., Cold Pressor Test, Public Speech…) and decision making should be measured with decisions under ambiguity or risk (e.g., Iowa Gambling Task, Game of Dice Task, Balloon Analogue Risk Task, Wheel of Fortune Gambles, Lottery Tasks…).
To reduce the File-Drawer-Bias we are now looking for unpublished data. If you have any data that could be relevant, we would be happy to receive them. However, the meta-analysis has already been reviewed and is now under revision. That means we have a strict deadline and would need the data quite soon, until November 3rd.
If you want to provide data or you have any questions please contact me.
Many thanks and best regards, Katrin
By "survivors", who are not at all academic people, it is called "the chimpanzee effect".
Here is an example - sorry it is in french - of such a chilling of the brain : http://forum.davidmanise.com/index.php?topic=2855.0
Hello, i highly recommend you this works:

I hope can be useless in some way from you.

Article Effects of Anticipatory Stress on Decision Making in a Gambling Task
I analyzed decision making, as in creative problem solving, and stress, and suicide ideation. Not sure if I still have the data. The findings were very interesting: problem generation X problem solving predicted suicide above and beyond stress.
This paper is in press so may not have picked it up yet: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26263545
