Outcomes Are in the Eye of the Beholder

چکیده
The purpose of the current research is to examine the influence of affective dispositions and the sequencing of affective and cognitive responses to mediated entertainment. Affective dispositions are manipulated so as to match a liked competitor against one who is disliked. The results indicate that viewers’ emotional responses and assessments of satisfaction with a win or loss were dependent on competitor liking. A hedonic reversal occurs in viewer disconfirmation emotions (relief and disappointment) and satisfaction judgments based on outcome desirability. A desirable (undesirable) outcome was one in which a liked (disliked) competitor won or a disliked (liked) competitor lost. We also find evidence of mediated moderation such that competitor liking moderates the mediating effect of relief and disappointment on outcome satisfaction following an outcome. Outcome satisfaction, conceptualized as a cognitive judgment in our model, is then positively related to viewer enjoyment of the overall experience. Additionally, our hypothesized model was found to outperform two competing models. The results elucidate the complex intertwining of affect and cognition in predicting viewer enjoyment of mediated entertainment.

We analyze in what sense the two algorithms are and are not equivalent. There is no one notion of equivalence appropriate for all purposes and thus the \insubstantiality of processes" may itself be in the eye of the beholder. There are other issues where we disagree with Lamport. In particular, we give a direct equivalence proof for two programs without representing them by means of temporal fo...
