UNLABELLED

It is widely accepted that affect is associated with motivation, decision making and well-being. Studies from various domains suggest that anticipated affect is a key determinant of behavioral intention. In this research, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the strength of the correlation between anticipated affect and behavioral intention. We searched the electronic databases PsycInfo, Scopus, Pubmed and Cochrane Library for articles published before July 2021. Studies were included based on the criteria 1) Participants are adults, 2) Participants rated their intention to engage in some behavior and the affect that they anticipate to experience if they perform or (not perform) the particular behavior, and 3) Pearson correlation coefficient(s) between behavioral intention and anticipated affect are reported. Studies whose target populations were patients with known psychiatric conditions were excluded. Correlation coefficients gathered from the selected studies were analyzed using a correlation-based meta-analysis. Meta-analytic estimate from 87 selected studies indicates a strong correlation between anticipated affect and behavioral intention ( = .61,95 = [.57,.64], < .0001, = 67, = 25652). However, significant heterogeneity is observed across the included studies and moderator analysis shows a significant difference ( = .006) between hedonic vs. non-hedonic behaviors. While the estimated correlation between anticipated affect and behavioral intention is large, there is heterogeneity across studies. This correlation is significantly higher for hedonic behaviors than non-hedonic behaviors. We suggest that differences in the range of affect/emotions covered by each study is another potential moderator. Our results motivate further studies, covering a broader range of affect/emotions for a more accurate estimate of the correlation between anticipated affect and behavioral intention as well as experimental interventions to validate the causal direction of this relationship.

情感与动机、决策和幸福感相关，这一观点已被广泛接受。来自各个领域的研究表明，预期情感是行为意图的关键决定因素。在本研究中，我们进行了一项荟萃分析，以确定预期情感与行为意图之间相关性的强度。我们在电子数据库PsycInfo、Scopus、Pubmed和Cochrane图书馆中搜索了2021年7月之前发表的文章。纳入研究的标准为：1) 参与者为成年人；2) 参与者对参与某种行为的意图以及如果他们执行或（不执行）该特定行为预期会经历的情感进行评分；3) 报告了行为意图与预期情感之间的皮尔逊相关系数。目标人群为已知精神疾病患者的研究被排除。使用基于相关性的荟萃分析对从选定研究中收集的相关系数进行分析。对87项选定研究的荟萃分析估计表明，预期情感与行为意图之间存在很强的相关性（r = 0.61，95%CI = [0.57, 0.64]，p < 0.0001，k = 67，N = 25652）。然而，在所纳入的研究中观察到显著的异质性，调节分析表明享乐行为与非享乐行为之间存在显著差异（p = 0.006）。虽然预期情感与行为意图之间的估计相关性很大，但研究之间存在异质性。这种相关性在享乐行为中显著高于非享乐行为。我们认为，每项研究涵盖的情感/情绪范围的差异是另一个潜在的调节因素。我们的结果促使进一步的研究，涵盖更广泛的情感/情绪范围，以更准确地估计预期情感与行为意图之间的相关性，以及进行实验干预以验证这种关系的因果方向。
