Emotions may deform and tilt the perceived reward landscape. The elicitation of emotions is reflexive, not deliberative. That is why emotions diminish agency.

It seems to alleviate the costs of a decision on certain problems though. So perhaps it increases the capacity for agency overall?

Replying to @larslaichter
I observe that once people learn the functional structure of the thing that was emotionally regulated, they stop having emotions about it (because they would induce unjustified bias and make things worse). Using a functional model is not intrinsically more expensive, I think.
