Value Is Shaped By Unsatisfied Desire: Activating Frustrated Values From Past Tradeoffs Shifts Unrelated Decisions

We propose a dynamic valuation process that extends beyond the incidental circumstances surrounding a given decision context. Two studies revealed that recalling a prior tradeoff situation reliably affected decisions in irrelevant contexts. Results suggest that current value is subject to the systematic influences of prior, unrelated value experiences.
