The Misprediction of Emotion

Description
In a real-life longitudinal study, college students about to be randomly assigned to a dorm had to predict how happy or unhappy they would feel about being assigned to a house they had ranked as “desirable” or “undesirable.” Most students thought that they would be much less happy in an “undesirable” dorm, but in fact, one year later, there was no difference between the two groups (Dunn, Wilson, & Gilbert, 2003).
