This paper provides an overview of affect and health decision-making research, with a focus on identifying gaps, opportunities, and challenges to guide future research. We begin by defining common categorical distinctions of affective processes that influence health decisions: integral (i.e., related to the decision) and incidental (i.e., normatively unrelated to the decision) influences, and current (experienced in the moment) and anticipated ("cognitive representations" of future affect) affect. We then summarize key discoveries within the most common categories of affective influences on health decision making: current integral affect, current incidental affect, and anticipated integral affect. Finally, we highlight research gaps, challenges, and opportunities for future directions for research aimed at translating affective and decision science theory to improve our understanding of, and ability to intervene upon, health decision making.
本文概述了情感与健康决策研究，重点是识别差距、机遇和挑战，以指导未来的研究。我们首先定义影响健康决策的情感过程的常见分类区别：整体（即与决策相关）和附带（即与决策规范上无关）影响，以及当前（当下体验到的）和预期（未来情感的“认知表征”）情感。然后，我们总结情感对健康决策影响最常见类别中的关键发现：当前整体情感、当前附带情感和预期整体情感。最后，我们强调研究差距、挑战以及未来研究方向的机遇，这些研究旨在转化情感与决策科学理论，以增进我们对健康决策的理解并提高干预健康决策的能力。
