Explain what affective forecasts are, provide an example of an affective forecast, and comment on the accuracy of affective forecasts
What will be an ideal response?
Affective forecasts refer to predictions of how we would feel about an event we have not experienced. For example, if a person imagined that he or she would dislike being in the military even though he or she has not experienced such an event, then that person has an affective forecast on that event. Research indicates that affective forecasts are often inaccurate.
