Abstract

According to the positive time-discounting assumption of intertemporal decision-making, people prefer to undergo negative events in the future rather than in the present. However, negative discounting has been identified in the intertemporal choice and loss domains, which refers to people’s preference to experience negative events earlier rather than later. Studies have validated and supported the "anticipated dread" as an explanation for negative discounting. This study again explored the effect of anticipated dread on intertemporal choice using content analysis; that is, having participants identify anticipated dread among reasons for negative discounting. This study also validated the effect of anticipated dread on negative discounting by manipulating anticipated dread. This study adds empirical and direct evidence for the role of anticipated dread in negative discounting.

等待是痛苦的：预期恐惧对损失领域负折扣的影响

根据跨期决策的正时间折现假设，人们更喜欢在未来而不是现在经历负面事件。然而，在跨期选择和损失领域中已经发现了负面折扣，这是指人们倾向于更早而不是更晚地经历负面事件。研究证实并支持“预期恐惧”作为负面折扣的解释。本研究采用内容分析的方法，再次探讨了预期恐惧对跨期选择的影响；也就是说，让参与者在负折扣的原因中识别预期的恐惧。这项研究还通过操纵预期恐惧来验证预期恐惧对负面折扣的影响。这项研究为预期恐惧在负面折扣中的作用提供了经验和直接的证据。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
