In addition, affective choice is often viewed as erroneous in that it is assumed to lead to regret. The authors show affect has a reliable impact on choice under high elaboration, which occurs through a combination of heuristic and systematic processing. Furthermore, consumers were able to correct for the impact irrelevant affect had on systematic processing, but not for its impact on less conscious heuristic processing. Finally, affective purchases led to greater long-term satisfaction for important purchases, suggesting affective choice can be functional.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
