Hedonic Editing Revisited
When evaluating outcomes, prospect theory predicts that individuals should integrate losses and segregate gains. However, evidence for this hedonic editing hypothesis has been mixed, particularly in the domain of losses. We propose and demonstrate that the integration or segregation of outcomes depends on perceptions of possible category-membership.
