A central question in psychology and economics is the determination of whether individuals react differently to different values of a cared-about attribute (e.g., different income levels, different gas prices, and different ambient temperatures). Building on and significantly extending our earlier work on preference reversals between joint and separate evaluations, we propose a general evaluability theory (GET) that specifies when people are value sensitive and when people mispredict their own or others' value sensitivity. The GET can explain and unify many seemingly unrelated findings, ranging from duration neglect to affective forecasting errors and can generate many new research directions on topics ranging from temporal discounting to subjective well-being.
心理学和经济学中的一个核心问题是，个体对于所关心的属性（例如，不同的收入水平、不同的油价和不同的环境温度）的不同取值会做出不同反应，这一问题该如何确定。在我们之前关于联合评估和单独评估之间偏好反转的研究基础上，我们提出了一个通用评价性理论（GET），用于确定人们何时具有价值敏感性，以及何时会错误预测自己或他人的价值敏感性。GET 可以解释和统一许多看似不相关的发现，从时间忽视到情感预测错误，并且可以为从时间折扣到主观幸福感等主题的许多新研究方向提供理论依据。
