Social and Moral Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis

Among the explanatory factors of interest, motivational factors (future temporal perspectives and emergence of a positivity bias), as well as cognitive and affective factors (by means of neuropsychological assessment) and neurophysiological factors (by means of electrodermal response) will be investigated. From a clinical point of view, a change in decision-making concerning choices with a strong emotional valence can have an impact on patients' daily lives and their course of care. Indeed, MS patients regularly have to make crucial choices about their treatment and care. A modification of decision-making patterns in these situations would represent a major challenge. A good understanding of these patterns will thus contribute to the development of appropriate management procedures to mitigate the impact on patients' daily lives.
