Abstract
This study explores the accuracy of work-related affective forecasts (i.e., predictions about future emotions) with self-report survey data and text analysis (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count). Using construal level theory (CLT) as a guiding framework, we analyzed components indicative of CLT to assess the relationship between time and affective predictions.
