This study investigated how intertemporal choices made for others differed from those made for oneself, and how attention directed to specific attributes of the choice problem contributed to such differences. Moderating effects of components of trait empathy, chronic construal-level, and personal sense of power were examined. Thirty-five participants performed a money choice task where they made choices for themselves and on behalf of an acquaintance, during which their eye movements were tracked. Results showed that lower scores on the fantasy component of empathy predicted decreased delay discounting while making decisions for others, while higher empathic concern favoured less impulsive choices for both self and others. Higher sense of power favoured less impulsive choices for both self and others. While making decisions for others, higher power biased more attention towards the reward attribute of the choice, which in turn predicted less delay discounting. Results are discussed from a construal-level perspective.
本研究考察了他人的跨期选择与自身的跨期选择有何不同，以及对选择问题特定属性的关注如何促成这种差异。还检验了特质同理心的成分、慢性构念水平和个人权力感的调节作用。35 名参与者进行了一项金钱选择任务，他们为自己和熟人做出选择，在此过程中跟踪他们的眼球运动。结果表明，同理心的幻想成分得分较低预示着为他人做决策时的延迟折扣减少，而同理心的关怀成分得分较高则有利于自己和他人的决策都更不冲动。权力感越高，对自己和他人的决策就越不冲动。在为他人做决策时，较高的权力感使更多的注意力偏向选择的奖励属性，而这反过来又预示着较少的延迟折扣。研究结果从构念水平的角度进行了讨论。
