Individuals emotional states (i.e., happy and sad emotions) might influence the intertemporal choice process, a decision of choosing between instant alternatives with small advantages or delayed alternatives with enormous benefits, when purchasing a product. This study tested the role of emotional states in individual intertemporal choices, especially when buying clothing products. 45 active students were involved as participants in this experimental study. The results indicated that happy and sad emotions do not significantly differ in individuals intertemporal choices, specifically in purchasing clothing products (ꭓ2 = 5.293, p > 0.05). This study also found that intertemporal choice was influenced by gender (F = 6.431, p < 0.05). This gender difference was significant (ꭓ2 = 4.099, p < 0.05), in which female participants had a higher average delayed gratification than male participants. Even though differences in income did not significantly impact the differences in intertemporal choice (ꭓ2 = 5.962, p > 0.05), individual income influenced intertemporal choice (F = 4.381, p < 0.05), in which participants with smaller incomes tended to choose cheaper clothing product. Moreover, the system of three thinking inhibited irrationality and made students more rational when making purchase decisions in accordance with their income or pocket money.

This experimental research found that happy and sad emotions did not significantly differ in individuals immediate and delayed gratification tendencies, especially when buying clothing products.Participants tended to choose the alternative of buying the product at a lower price despite waiting some time to purchase.The role of emotional state induced in this study became insignificant because the participants used system three thinking, which inhibited system one thinking, preventing emotions from affecting the decision-making process.

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk menguji pengaruh emosi pada keputusan pembelian dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor lain seperti tingkat keterlibatan konsumen dengan merek pakaian, gaya hidup, atau norma sosial. Selain itu, penelitian dapat mengeksplorasi bagaimana strategi pemasaran yang menargetkan emosi tertentu dapat memengaruhi perilaku pembelian konsumen, khususnya dalam konteks pakaian. Terakhir, penelitian di masa depan dapat menggunakan metode yang lebih beragam, seperti studi kualitatif atau neurosains, untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang mekanisme kognitif dan emosional yang mendasari keputusan pembelian pakaian, serta bagaimana mekanisme tersebut berbeda antara individu dengan karakteristik yang berbeda.
