Affective State Dependent Myopia in Temporal Discounting and Future Planning

This research investigates how induced emotional states, anxiety, sadness, and elation, systematically alter temporal discounting rates and long-term planning horizons in economic choice tasks. The findings reveal emotion-specific mechanisms that constrain rational intertemporal decision-making across populations.
