We asked people to recall past gifts. People's favorite gifts that they had given were rated as reaction-inducing and their favorite gifts that they had received were rated as satisfaction-inducing by independent coders.

In fact, we see some evidence that the relationships between emotions and financial preferences are stronger in more economically developed/culturally individualistic countries:

But these results are far from universal. We see substantial heterogeneity in the relationships between valence and economic preferences across 74 countries (the line represents expected heterogeneity due to chance):

Then we conduct a global analysis, using data from the Gallup World Poll and the Global Preferences Survey (Falk et al 2018). We find that emotions do predict financial preferences, largely but not completely in line with valence, even after including relevant controls:

We conduct an exhaustive meta-analysis for patience (a,b) and risk (c,d), both measured (a,c) and manipulated (b,d). Including unpublished results and relevant tests from studies designed to test something else, the results are weaker than suggested by the best-known papers.

We also present a framework to try to distinguish between different types of replications. It’s not about whether a paper replicates or not, but what in a paper was tested and whether that aspect replicated. 4/10

There has been increasing discussion of replication in behavioral marketing, including in JCR, over time. The limitation is that we have shifted to a norm of replication within a single paper, at the cost of across-paper and independent replications. 2/10
