O.B.E.

The Human Behavior Podcast

Today we are talking about something that affects our perception and our cognitive performance, even before we realize it’s an issue! It’s something we call “O.B.E.” which stands for Overcome By Emotion or Overwhelmed By Events.

During the episode we define in great detail what we mean by these terms and how they affect our ability to sense make and problem solve but the reason we are talking about OBE is because it comes on much faster than we think and is often the biggest contributing factor to poor decision making.

When we use the term “overwhelmed” people often assume that we are talking about a situation or event that is highly chaotic or complex but in reality it can come on when we are running a few minutes late for an important event. During the episode we give several examples of what we mean by OBE and we talk about the physiological and psychological processes that contribute to becoming overwhelmed by events or overcome by emotion.
