‘I’ Versus ‘You’: Self-Focus As a Mediator of Emotion Effects on Self-Control
Sadness’ association with self and enhanced self-focus has been implicated in the sadness-consumption relationship. We find that the increased self- (vs. other-) focus of sadness leads to more indulgent consumption. Further, we examine whether elaboration on the potential outcomes of behavior for others attenuates the influence of self-focus on self-control.
