Hedonism and the Family: Conflict in Values?*

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 1977
In American society (and maybe all of the “Western world), there seems to be an increasing emphasis on instant gratification and avoidance of pain for its individual members. These two trends—one towards hedonism and the other involving the centrality of the rights of the individual—are closely connected. Both implicate basic values.

Relative hedonic value modulates anticipatory contrast

Physiology & Behavior, 1994
Intake of an initial substance (e.g., 0.15% saccharin) is suppressed when the presentation of this substance precedes the availability of a preferred solution (e.g., 32% sucrose) in brief daily pairings. The present experiments show that degree of this anticipatory contrast effect is related to the relative hedonic value of the substances paired each ...

British Journal of Psychology, 2003

The meaningfulness prediction was supported in both experiments.
