Research shows that being in a romantic state can significantly enhance risk-taking behavior. In studies conducted in China, participants exposed to romantic imagery were more likely to choose activities such as bungee jumping. Additionally, their moral reasoning appeared compromised, as they were more inclined to consider engaging in actions like bribery for personal gain. These findings indicate that love alters judgment and decision-making, increasing appetites for risky and immoral choices, as seen in results from evaluation of advertisements and choices offered to participants.

A significant 75% of volunteers who watched romantic ads chose to go bungee jumping compared to 53% of those who saw non-romantic ads.
