“…For this purpose, we developed a novel Primacy model that we pitted against the standard Recency model. We then also examine a host of other plausible models as suggested in disparate literatures about valuation timing (Daniel Kahneman & Tversky, 2000;Olsson, Garling, Ettema, Friman, & Stahl, 2017).…”

Humans refer to their mood state regularly in day-to-day as well as clinical interactions. Theoretical accounts suggest that when reporting on our mood we integrate over the history of our experiences; yet, the temporal structure of this integration remains unexamined. Here we use a computational approach to quantitatively answer this question and show that early events exert a stronger influence on reported mood compared to recent events. We show that a Primacy model accounts better for mood reports compared to a range of alternative temporal representations across random, consistent or dynamic reward environments, different age groups and in both healthy and depressed participants. Moreover, we find evidence for neural encoding of the Primacy, but not the Recency, model in frontal brain regions related to mood regulation. These findings hold implications for the timing of events in experimental or clinical settings and suggest new directions for individualized mood interventions.

“…The measure of emotional well-being is obtained by asking the employed and unemployed participants to make ratings of daily mood ("Have do you feel today?"). A daily mood measure would provide an unbiased time sample of feelings which are representative for a normal day of the group to which the employed or unemployed participants belong (Gärling, 2019;Olsson et al, 2017), 1 and since not being associated with specified activities, it may give different results for emotional well-being than the DRM in previous research. We also ask the participants to rate their mood during the past week in order to obtain a measure of emotional well-being that may be less influenced by extraneous factors than daily mood measures may be.…”

Mediators of Differences Between Employed and Unemployed in Life Satisfaction and Emotional Well-being

Previous research has shown that the unemployed has lower life satisfaction than the employed but that their emotional well-being may not differ. The aim is to investigate the role of mediators with bearings on these differences between the employed and unemployed in emotional well-being compared to life satisfaction. Participants were 3,463 employed and 452 unemployed living in five Western countries. They answered questions in an online survey. The results showed that the employed had both higher life satisfaction and emotional well-being. Mediation analysis replicated previous results in that the relationship between unemployment and life satisfaction was mediated by financial satisfaction. The relationship with emotional well-being was mediated by satisfaction with time use which was higher for the employed than the unemployed. Financial satisfaction was also a mediator of the relationship with emotional well-being, both directly and through satisfaction with time use. Although the unemployed felt lower time pressure than the employed, this factor was not a strong mediator of the relationship with emotional well-being, neither directly nor through satisfaction with time use. A possible explanation for the differences in the results for emotional well-being is that a negative mood is less associated with work than found in previous research.

Timing matters: The temporal representation of experience in subjective mood reports

Mood is thought to integrate across our experiences, yet we do not know how the relative timing of past events shapes how we feel in the moment. Here, we investigate the relationship between the timing of previous experiences and mood by combining a novel closed-loop mood controller alongside computational modelling and neural data. We first present the development of a Mood Machine Interface which allows us to individualize rewards in real-time in order to generate substantial mood transitions, across healthy as well as depressed, adolescents and adults. We then show that early-experiences have a larger effect on mood than recent ones, and that the longer one is exposed to a given context, the harder it is for new events to change mood. We find that ACC neural activity underlies the influence of early experiences on mood. This provides a neuro-computational account of mood regulation by early events and suggests new directions for individualized mood interventions.
