A researcher investigated the effect of guilt emotion on how a decision maker focuses on the problem . A total of 178 volunteer students participated in the experiment, where each was assigned to one of three emotional states (guilt, anger,or neutral) through a reading/writing task. Immediately after the task, student were presented with decision problem where the stated option has predominantly negative features (for example, spending money on repairing a very old car). The result (number responding in each category) are summarized in the accompanying table. Is there sufficient evidence (at α = 0.10) to claim tha the option choice depends on emotional state?
