Isi artikel

Individuals regularly confront situations in which acceptance of short-term costs may lead to long term gains. Given that individuals frequently discount the utility of future benefits with respect to more immediate ones, successfully solving such inter temporal choice dilemmas has been theorized to involve self-regulation aimed at controlling emotional responses that are sensitive to immediate rewards. In this article, I argue for a more multifaceted view of the role played by emotions in inter temporal choice. In support of this view, I review emerging evidence demonstrating the ability of specific, socially oriented emotions to facilitate behaviors designed to build social and economic capital in the long run.
