Answer preview
Affective forecasting refers to predicting the manner in which an individual will feel in the future. Many individuals use affective forecasting to make decisions, since affective forecasting is the aspect of predicting the manner in which the future events will have an effect on individual’s emotional well-being (Wilson & Gilbert, 2003). For instance, an individual may make a choice concerning the person they will marry, what they want to buy, where they want to live based on the individuals affective forecast regarding what will bring joy and happiness in their lives. The unfortunate thing about affective forecasting is that it is prone to error thus, leading to decisional regret.
