先前的研究主要集中在经验丰富的影响对决策的影响上。但是，情感信息的其他来源也可能塑造决策。在两项研究中，我们研究了情感信息，状态情感和人格对时间折扣率的相互作用的影响（即，今天选择少量奖励而不是将来更大的回报）。在研究I中，参与者在做出奖励选择之前，用正面或负面影响形容词进行了准备。在研究2中，参与者在做出奖励选择之前经历了正面或负面影响。两项研究的结果都表明，神经质与状态不愉快的影响和状况（即阳性或负数或归纳）相互作用，以预测折现率。此外，相互作用的性质取决于可用情感信息的调节提示。这些结果表明，情感信息的来源无关（即素数）和稳定（即人格特征）的来源也塑造了判断和决策。因此，当前的情感水平并不是指导个人做出决策的情感信息的唯一来源。
Previous research has largely focused on the influence of experienced affect on decision making; however, other sources of affective information may also shape decisions. In two studies, we examine the interacting influences of affective information, state affect, and personality on temporal discounting rates (i.e., the tendency to choose small rewards today rather than larger rewards in the future). In Study I, participants were primed with either positive or negative affect adjectives before making reward choices. In Study 2, participants underwent either a positive or negative affect induction before making reward choices. Results in both studies indicate that neuroticism interacts with state unpleasant affect and condition (i.e., positive or negative primes or induction) to predict discounting rates. Moreover, the nature of the interactions depends on the regulatory cues of the affective information available. These results suggest that irrelevant (i.e., primes) and stable (i.e., personality traits) sources of affective information also shape judgments and decision making. Thus, current affect levels are not the only source of affective information that guides individuals when making decisions.
