"Carpe Diem?": Disjunction Effect of Incidental Affect on Intertemporal Choice.

ABSTRACT: Incidental affect has an important impact on intertemporal choice (IC). This research aimed to test how positive incidental affect influences IC and its underlying mechanisms. We assumed that positive incidental affect may have a disjunction effect on IC that includes or excludes immediate time. Moreover, we examined the role of time perception for the effect of affect on IC. In Study 1, after undergoing affect priming by video clips, participants completed the IC task using a multiple staircase paradigm. Using Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling, we estimated the discount rate parameter by distinguishing "immediate" and "non-immediate" conditions of IC. The participants' time perception was also measured. In Study 2, apart from the choice preference of IC, we additionally investigated the diff
