The Downstream Consequences of Incidental Emotions and Preference Inconsistent Information

We show that emotions of the same valence (shame and anger) have different effects on self-control following confrontation with information that is either preference consistent or inconsistent. We argue that when information is perceived as a threat to an individual’s situational self-identity, they self-affirm through counter-argumentation, which boosts subsequent self-control.
