Drawing false inferences from mandated disclosures
Disclosure mandates are pervasive. Though designed to inform consumers, such mandates may lead consumers to draw false inferences – for example, that a product is harmful when it is not. When deciding to require disclosure of an ingredient in or characteristic of a product, regulators may be motivated by evidence that the ingredient or characteristic is harmful to consumers. But they may also be motivated by a belief that consumers have a right t…

When Deliberation Produces Extremism
What are the effects of deliberation about political issues by likeminded people? An experimental investigation involving two deliberative exercises, one among self-identified liberals and another among self-identified conservatives, showed that participants' views became more extreme after deliberation. Deliberation also increased consensus and significantly reduced diversity of opinion within the two groups. Even anonymous statements of persona…

Would You Be Happier If You Were Richer? A Focusing Illusion
The belief that high income is associated with good mood is widespread but mostly illusory. People with above-average income are relatively satisfied with their lives but are barely happier than others in moment-to-moment experience, tend to be more tense, and do not spend more time in particularly enjoyable activities. Moreover, the effect of income on life satisfaction seems to be transient. We argue that people exaggerate the contribution of i…
A population approach to the study of emotion: Diurnal rhythms of a working day examined with the day reconstruction method
To date, diurnal rhythms of emotions have been studied with real-time data collection methods mostly in relatively small samples. The Day Reconstruction Method (DRM), a new survey instrument that reconstructs the emotions of a day, is examined as a method for enabling large-scale investigations of rhythms. Diurnal cycles were observed for 12 emotion adjectives in 909 women over a working day. Bimodal patterns with peaks at noon and evenings were …
Pursuing Happiness: The Architecture of Sustainable Change
The pursuit of happiness is an important goal for many people. However, surprisingly little scientific research has focused on the question of how happiness can be increased and then sustained, probably because of pessimism engendered by the concepts of genetic determinism and hedonic adaptation. Nevertheless, emerging sources of optimism exist regarding the possibility of permanent increases in happiness. Drawing on the past well-being literatur…

A Survey Method for Characterizing Daily Life Experience: The Day Reconstruction Method
The Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) assesses how people spend their time and how they experience the various activities and settings of their lives, combining features of time-budget measurement and experience sampling. Participants systematically reconstruct their activities and experiences of the preceding day with procedures designed to reduce recall biases. The DRM's utility is shown by documenting close correspondences between the DRM report…
Predictably Incoherent Judgments
When people make moral or legal judgments in isolation, they produce a pattern of outcomes that they would themselves reject, if only they could see that pattern as a whole.A major reason is that human thinking is category-bound.When people see a case in isolation, they spontaneously compare it to other cases that are mainly drawn from the same category of harms.When people are required to compare cases that involve different kinds of harms, judg…
Is Incoherence Outrageous
Martin Wells (hereafter ER&W).3ER&W offer a great deal of information about the real world of punitive damages, presenting a mixed verdict on our basic claims.Coglianese provides an impressively detailed account of the problem of achieving coherence in the world of administrative penalties.Kelman questions the importance of coherence and also urges that in many cases, people's judgments may be better if they lack a global perspective.We are pleas…

Does Living in California Make People Happy? A Focusing Illusion in Judgments of Life Satisfaction
Large samples of students in the Midwest and in Southern California rated satisfaction with life overall as well as with various aspects of life, for either themselves or someone similar to themselves in one of the two regions. Self-reported overall life satisfaction was the same in both regions, but participants who rated a similar other expected Californians to be more satisfied than Midwesterners. Climate-related aspects were rated as more imp…
