Why Under Stress Positive Reinforcement is~More Effective? Why Optimists Study Better? Why People Become Restless? Simple Utility-Based Explanations

In this paper, we use the utility-based approach to decision making to provide simple answers to the following three questions: Why under stress positive reinforcement is more effective? Why optimists study better? Why people become restless?
