摘要

生动地想象与个人相关的未来事件(情节性未来思维)会减少延迟折现,并可能带来许多应用益处。目前还不清楚所想象的事件是否必须与自己有关,也不清楚生动想象未来发生在他人身上的事件是否也会减少延迟折现。在当前的研究中,有两组学生写下了未来发生的事件,然后我们提示他们在做延迟金额权衡决策时,生动地想象这些未来事件(例如,你会选择现在的 500 美元还是一年后的 1000 美元?)一组人想象未来事件发生在自己身上,另一组人则想象发生在他们认识的某个人身上。我们将贴现与对照条件进行了比较,在对照条件下,参与者只需接受 "选择 "的指令。只有想象与个人相关的未来事件的那一组人的延迟折现减少了。这表明,当未来事件发生在自己身上而不是他人身上时,情节性未来思维能更有效地减少延迟折现。想象与个人相关的未来事件的小组并没有更能够报告实验假设,这表明这种差异主要不是由需求特征造成的。

Episodic Future Thinking Only Reduces Delay Discounting When Future Events Involve the Self

Episodic Future Thinking Only Reduces Delay Discounting When Future Events Involve the Self

Vividly imagining personally relevant, future episodes (episodic future thinking) reduces delay discounting, with potential to provide many applied benefits. It is not clear whether the events imagined must involve the self, or whether vividly imagining future events that will happen to another person would also reduce delay discounting. In the current study, two groups of students wrote about future events, we then cued them to vividly imagine these future events while making delay-amount trade-off decisions (e.g., would you choose $500 now or $1000 in one year?). One group imagined future events happening to themselves, and another group to a specific person they knew. We compared discounting to a control condition where participants were simply instructed to “choose.” Only the group that imagined personally relevant, future events demonstrated reduced delay discounting. This suggests that episodic future thinking more effectively reduces delay discounting when future events happen to the self rather than another person. The group that imagined personally relevant future events were not more able to report the experimental hypotheses suggesting that this difference was not primarily driven by demand characteristics.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Behavioral Decision Making is a multidisciplinary journal with a broad base of content and style. It publishes original empirical reports, critical review papers, theoretical analyses and methodological contributions. The Journal also features book, software and decision aiding technique reviews, abstracts of important articles published elsewhere and teaching suggestions. The objective of the Journal is to present and stimulate behavioral research on decision making and to provide a forum for the evaluation of complementary, contrasting and conflicting perspectives. These perspectives include psychology, management science, sociology, political science and economics. Studies of behavioral decision making in naturalistic and applied settings are encouraged.
