Summary Introduction

Introduction

Affective forecasting describes how people tend to form predictions about the way in which they will feel in response to a future emotional event. Imagine you have a chance of going out with someone you never met. Then consider that you had two scenarios from which to choose in order to help you decide whether or not you should date them, which includes seeing their dating profile or trusting a friend's opinion of them. Which would be the best option? Research results into this matter may surprise you.
