Previous studies have explored the effects of time poverty and money worship on intertemporal decision making based on a resource scarcity perspective. However, how the pace of life affects intertemporal decision making has not been examined. Furthermore, manipulating time perceptions can influence intertemporal decision-making preferences. Based on the perspective of time perception differences, it remains unknown how views of time or temporal focus affect the intertemporal decision making of individuals with different pace of life. To address these issues, study 1 adopted a correlational study to initially explore the relationship between the pace of life and intertemporal decision making. Studies 2 and 3 used manipulation experiments to examine the effects of the pace of life and view of time and temporal focus and pace of life on intertemporal decision making. The results suggest that the faster the life pace, the more recent rewards are preferred. Views of time and temporal focus manipulations can influence the intertemporal decision making of faster-paced individuals, making them prefer smaller-sooner (SS) payoffs under a linear view of time or future temporal focus and larger-later (LL) payoffs under a circular view of time or past temporal focus. However, the manipulation does not affect the intertemporal decision of slower-paced individuals. Our study examined the effect of the pace of life on intertemporal decision making based on a resource scarcity perspective, and found boundary conditions for the influence of the view of time and temporal focus on intertemporal decision making based on the perspective of differences in people's perception of time.
先前的研究基于资源稀缺性视角探讨了时间贫困和金钱崇拜对跨期决策的影响。然而，生活节奏如何影响跨期决策尚未得到检验。此外，操纵时间感知可以影响跨期决策偏好。基于时间感知差异的视角，尚不清楚时间观或时间焦点如何影响具有不同生活节奏的个体的跨期决策。为了解决这些问题，研究 1 采用相关研究初步探讨了生活节奏与跨期决策之间的关系。研究 2 和 3 使用操纵实验检验了生活节奏和时间观以及时间焦点和生活节奏对跨期决策的影响。结果表明，生活节奏越快，近期奖励越受青睐。时间观和时间焦点的操纵可以影响快节奏个体的跨期决策，使他们在时间线性观或未来时间焦点下更喜欢小-即期（SS）回报，在时间循环观或过去时间焦点下更喜欢大-即期（LL）回报。然而，这种操纵并不影响慢节奏个体的跨期决策。我们的研究基于资源稀缺性视角考察了生活节奏对跨期决策的影响，并基于人们对时间感知的差异视角找到了时间观和时间焦点对跨期决策影响的边界条件。
