Jeremy Bentham on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 56
Emotions/Bentham/ReisenzeinVsBentham/Reisenzein: Even radical hedonist theorists usually do not claim that humans are slaves to their momentary emotions but instead emphasize, for example, that people can decide to tolerate a current unpleasant feeling if they believe that this will spare them greater pain in the future (e.g., Bentham 1789/1970)(1). And if, as most contemporary motivation theorists believe, people are also motivated by other than hedonistic concerns (e.g., Reiss 2000)(2), possible reasons for emotion regulation multiply (see also, Parrott 1993(3); Tamir, Chiu and Gross 2007(4)).
