Unsure what the future will bring? You may overindulge: Uncertainty increases the appeal of wants over shoulds (2012, positive): “The elicitation procedure employed was adapted from a procedure developed by Strack, Schwarz, and Gschneidinger (1985) to manipulate emotions and validated in several subsequent studies (see Keltner et al., 1993; Lerner and Keltner 2001; Tiedens and Linton, 2001; and Dunn and Schweitzer, 2005).”
The Conflicting Choices of Alternating Selves (2010, background): “…not only arise via ‘‘external” changes in option description or elicitation procedure: fleeting internal states of the decision maker, such as mood (Lerner & Keltner, 2001) and goal activation (Chartrand, Huber, Shiv, & Tanner, 2008; Novemsky & Dhar, 2005) may also serve as a context for, and…”
Emotions, Partisanship, and Misperceptions: How Anger and Anxiety Moderate the Effect of Partisan Bias on Susceptibility to Political Misinformation (2015, methodology): “Similar tasks have been used in prior research and allow for the independent induction of each emotion related to the target issue (Lerner & Keltner, 2001; Valentino, Brader, Groenendyk, Gregorowicz, & Hutchings, 2011).”
Emotional Policy: Personal Sadness and Anger Shape Judgments about a Welfare Case (2008, methodology): “The self-report measure, originally adapted from Gross and Levenson (1995), has been used extensively in research on emotion and decision making (see, for example, Lerner & Keltner, 2001; Lerner, Small, & Loewenstein, 2004).”
Anxiety, Immigration, and the Search for Information (2014, methodology): “Anxiety increases individuals’ sensitivity to risk (Fischhoff, Gonzalez, Small, & Lerner, 2003; Huddy, Feldman, & Cassese, 2007; Lerner & Keltner, 2000, 2001; Renshon & Lerner, 2010; Skitka, Bauman, & Mullen, 2004), and we suggest that this results in increased attention to threatening information.”
Feelings and Consumer Decision Making: Extending the Appraisal-Tendency Framework (2007, methodology): “…lead to a certain number of death each year in the United States (e.g., brain cancer, strokes, floods) (Lerner & Keltner, 2000), or to estimate the likelihood that specific positive and negative events would occur in their own life compared to the lives of relevant peers (Lerner & Keltner, 2001).”
Believing and sharing misinformation, fact-checks, and accurate information on social media: The role of anxiety during COVID-19 (2021, background): “While some literature links anxiety to increased sharing (Berger, 2011), especially in political contexts with low knowledge (Heiss, 2020), other work shows the opposite (Lerner and Keltner, 2001), with the rationale that “anxiety may cause people to withdraw and avoid risk” (Hasell and Weeks, 2016:”
Motivationally selective risk judgments: Do fear and curiosity boost the boons or the banes? (2007, methodology): “Not surprisingly, evidence also suggests that fear leads to risk-avoidant outcome judgments (e.g., increased judgments of the likelihood of negative outcomes; Lerner & Keltner, 2001).”
Mood Experience: Implications of a Dispositional Theory of Moods (2009, methodology): “…our thoughts and judgments.4 The results obtained by Siemer (2001) are further supported by empirical findings obtained under the appraisal-tendency framework proposed by Lerner and Keltner (2001),5 which predicts that emotions heighten the tendency to appraise events in an emotion-congruent way.”
Negative affects deriving from the behavioral approach system. (2004, background): “The findings of Studies 2 and 3 seem to raise a question for circumplex and circular models of affective experience (e.g., Feldman Barrett & Russell, 1998; Watson & Tellegen, 1985): If anxiety and anger exist at nearly the same point on the familiar circular maps, why do they relate to different beh”
Emotion Specificity and Consumer Behavior: Anger, Sadness, and Preference for Activity (2004, background): “This has lead to the investigation of the differential effects of equally valenced emotions, such as sadness and anger, on decision making (Lerner & Keltner, 2001; Nabi, 2003; Raghunathan & Pham, 1999), likelihood estimates (DeSteno, Petty, Rucker, Wegener, & Braverman, 2004; DeSteno, Petty,…”
Adolescents’ Worries about Environmental Risks: Subjective Well-being, Values, and Existential Dimensions (2005, background): “Studies have shown that people who feel anger in connection to risks resemble people who show positive emotions regarding the same risks (Lerner & Keltner 2000 2001 ; Hemenover & Zhang 2004 ).”
I feel, therefore you act: Intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of emotion on negotiation as a function of social power (2010, background): “If a negotiator experiences anger, a common intrapersonal response is for that person him- or herself to become more aggressive and indiscriminately optimistic (Lerner & Keltner, 2001) in subsequent behavior (e.g., greater resistance to making concessions).”
Emotions as Moral Amplifiers: An Appraisal Tendency Approach to the Influences of Distinct Emotions upon Moral Judgment (2011, background): “The expressive components of emotions, like nonverbal displays or vocal tone, are central to communication and the coordination of social interaction (Keltner & Kring, 1998).”
