Abstract

A cross-cultural comparison is made of delay discounting in samples of participants from Chile and China. Comparisons are made based on previous literature that suggests that individuals from an Asian culture should be willing to postpone delayed rewards more than are individuals from a Latin American culture. To test the cross-cultural validity of a hyperbolic discounting model, the model was fitted to both data sets. Additionally, a self-enhancement measure was evaluated as a potential mediator between culture of origin and delay discounting. Seventy-eight college students from China and 120 college students from Chile, with similar demographic backgrounds, discounted hypothetical monetary outcomes using an adjusting-amount titration procedure. Additionally, participants completed a self-enhancement measure. Age, academic major, gender, and grade point average were controlled. Chilean participants discounted much more steeply than Chinese nationals did. No support was obtained for the mediation of self-enhancement between culture of origin and degree of delay discounting. In both samples, delay discounting was better described by a hyperboloid than an exponential function, the only exception being the $10,000 condition in which the medians for Chilean participants' present subjective value were equally well explained by a hyperboloid and an exponential function.

跨期决策的文化差异:智利与中国的比较
我们对来自智利和中国的参与者样本的延迟折现进行了跨文化比较。根据以往的文献,来自亚洲文化的人应该比来自拉丁美洲文化的人更愿意推迟延迟奖励,因此我们进行了比较。为了检验双曲贴现模型的跨文化有效性,我们对两组数据都进行了拟合。此外,还评估了一种自我提升测量方法,将其作为原籍文化与延迟折现之间的潜在中介。来自中国的 78 名大学生和来自智利的 120 名大学生具有相似的人口统计学背景,他们采用调整金额滴定法对假设的货币结果进行贴现。此外,参与者还完成了一项自我提升测量。年龄、所学专业、性别和平均学分绩点都受到了控制。智利受试者比中国受试者的折扣率要高得多。原籍文化与延迟折现程度之间的自我提升中介作用没有得到支持。在两个样本中,双曲线函数比指数函数更好地描述了延迟折现,唯一的例外是在 10,000 美元的条件下,双曲线函数和指数函数同样很好地解释了智利受试者目前主观价值的中位数。
