These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together.

The answer here depends on the professionals' experience and on the quality and speed with which they discover their mistakes.
