SUMMARY:Value From Hedonic Experience and Engagement - Tory Higgins\, Colu

DESCRIPTION:Recognizing that value involves experiencing pleasure or pain 
 is critical to understanding the psychology of value. But hedonic experien
 ce is not enough. I will present a new theory which proposes that strength
  of engagement also contributes to experienced value through its contribut
 ion to the experience of motivational force—an experience of the intensi
 ty of the force of attraction to or repulsion from the value target. The s
 ubjective pleasure/pain properties of a value target influence strength of
  engagement\, but there are factors separate from the hedonic properties o
 f the value target that also influence engagement strength and thus contri
 bute to the value experience of attraction or repulsion. These additional 
 sources of engagement strength include using the right or proper means of 
 goal pursuit\, opposing something that interferes with the goal pursuit\, 
 experiencing an upcoming event\, which is relevant to the current goal pur
 suit\, as real because of its high expressed likelihood\, and regulatory f
 it between the orientation and manner of goal pursuit.
