Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of positive and negative emotions on the decision of football players. The statistical population of the present study consisted of male football players in Tehran, of which 45 people with 18 to 24 years of age and in three groups of positive, negative and neutral excitement were selected as available samples. The decision-making task included images of football simulation situations. The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test showed a significant difference between groups in the speed (F (2, 42) = 18.16, P<0.001) and accuracy (F (2, 42) = 12.53, P<0.001) of decision making and the Bonferroni post-hoc test showed that the group of positive and neutral emotions was significantly faster than the group of negative emotions and they had better decision-making accuracy. In addition, the positive emotion group had better decision-making accuracy than the neutral emotion group. Therefore, football coaches are advised to do exercises that require quick and accurate decisions, along with routine technical and tactical exercises, by creating positive emotional conditions
