High Hopes and Disappointment
We study preferences for which choosing high expectations about the future make us happy now but make us unhappy later if they are not realized. These preferences generalize the recursive utility of Kreps-Porteus and Epstein-Zin. Like recursive utility agents, our agents care about the time resolution of uncertainty, but our agents are not purely forward-looking. For example, two agents with th...
متن کاملDisappointment Cycles ∗
We propose a model of history dependent disappointment aversion (HDDA), allowing the attitude of a decision-maker (DM) towards disappointment at each stage of a T -stage lottery to evolve as a function of his history of disappointments and elations in prior stages. We establish an equivalence between the existence of an HDDA representation and two documented cognitive biases. First, the DM over...

The present article investigates the effectiveness of methods traditionally used to distinguish between the emotions of regret and disappointment and presents a new method — the Regret and Disappointment Scale (RDS) — for assessing the two emotions in decision making research. The validity of the RDS was tested in three studies. Study 1 used two scenarios, one prototypical of regret and the oth...
متن کاملA Theory of Disappointment
We develop an axiomatic model of decision making under risk based on the concept of disappointment aversion. Disappointment is measured using the expected utility of the lottery as a reference point. From an axiomatics, which is supported by many studies on psychology and emotions research, we derive a general class of model that is lottery dependent and which can be viewed as the theoretical g...
متن کاملExpectation Reasoning Using Regret and Disappointment
A critical aspect of an agent system is the ability to deal with unexpected situations to determine an appropriate course of action in a changing environment. In this paper, we investigate the incorporation of the mental attitudes of regret and disappointment (which have been studied by economists using utility theory) into the agent’s reasoning system in order to improve its ability to deal wi...
