The Psychological and Neural Basis of Loss Aversion (2018, background): “Moment-to-moment happiness instead depends on the cumulative impact of recent outcomes relative to expectations about those outcomes (e.g., prediction errors), with no differential emphasis on losses compared with gains on average (Rutledge et al., 2014).”
A distributional code for value in dopamine-based reinforcement learning (2020, background): “Mood has been linked with predictions of future reward 26 , and it has been proposed that both depression and bipolar disorder may involve biased forecasts concerning value-laden outcomes 27 .”
Neuronal Reward and Decision Signals: From Theories to Data. (2015, background): “BOLD responses in ventral striatum correlate with pleasantness ratings for thermal stimuli (along with orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate activations) (486) and with momentary happiness ratings derived from a combination of certain rewards, gambles, and reward prediction errors (along with anterio”
Does social exclusion influence multiple channel use? The interconnections with community, happiness, and well-being (2016, neutral): “A two-item, sevenpoint scale adapted from Shepherd (1999) defined and measured disability issues, reflecting the degree towhich an individual encounters issues or symptoms on a continual basis that may require practical social support (Table 2).”
