Claims that rest on it
Each claim states what the site asserts, at what strength, and with what caveat.
TheoreticalLevel DConfidence MODERATE
Self-reports of current feelings draw on episodic experience, whereas reports of past or hypothetical feelings draw increasingly on beliefs about emotion, so the two can diverge.
- Scope
- Emotional self-report under different reporting conditions.
- Caveat
- An organising model; how large the divergence is depends on the measure and the delay.
