I haven’t read Ariely’s research articles themselves, but I’ve seen this research summarized in Ariely’s (or maybe Wiseman’s) recent book. How is this a study of strong emotions? There’s much more to the emotional states than shifting preferences. For all we know, there may be systematic changes in certain competencies, susceptibility to certain kinds if stimuli, even lasting personality changes.
Didn’t know about Gilbert and Denson, thanks for pointing out their work.
