+;<b>Accurate [[Affective Forecasting|affective forecasts]]</b> : Predicting correctly one’s emotional reactions following one’s moral decisions.
+;<b>Accurate interpersonal affective forecasts</b> : Predicting accurately the emotional reactions of others to one’s moral choices. This is an important component of many traditional definitions of wisdom, but has been largely neglected empirically.
+;<b>Applying this knowledge</b> : Choosing benevolent (over hurtful) actions because they will yield the greatest positive affect both for the self and for others.

+## Do affective forecasting errors occur for moral decisions? Differences between predicted and actual emotional consequences of benevolent behavior (e.g., forgiving a dating partner) versus hurtful behavior (e.g., retaliating against a dating partner) are examined.
-#With colleagues, Jody Davis, Eli Finkel, and Glenn Lucke, Green refined the method for a series of laboratory experiments.
+## Do interpersonal affective forecasting errors occur for moral decisions? Differences between individuals’ predictions about the emotional experiences of others and others’ actual emotional experiences as a consequence of individuals’ benevolent or hurtful behavior are investigated.
+## Who is “wise”? Researchers attempt to identify the wisest (i.e., most accurate affective forecasters) individuals via a series of personality measures.
