Intertemporal decision making is the process by which individuals make judgments or choices regarding outcomes that occur at different times. Although intertemporal decision making is widely investigated, most studies explore it in terms of individual decision making, while neglecting group decision making, which holds more practical significance and adaptive value. This study recommends adopting a "two-process" approach that uses self-assessment questionnaires, audiovisual recordings, and visual decision-making tools to quantify interpersonal interaction processes and information processing in group intertemporal decision-making settings. In this way, studies can reveal the psychological and theoretical mechanisms of the group intertemporal decision-making process. At the level of interpersonal interaction processes, such an approach can identify the differential mechanisms between group and individual intertemporal decision making. In terms of information processing, it can reveal the mechanisms of the decision-making process in group intertemporal decision making. The findings of such work can provide a basis for interventions and nudges that encourage more visionary group intertemporal decision making.
跨期决策是个体对在不同时间发生的结果进行判断或选择的过程。尽管跨期决策受到了广泛研究，但大多数研究是从个体决策的角度进行探讨的，而忽略了具有更大实际意义和适应性价值的群体决策。本研究建议采用一种“双过程”方法，该方法使用自我评估问卷、视听记录和视觉决策工具来量化群体跨期决策环境中的人际互动过程和信息处理。通过这种方式，研究可以揭示群体跨期决策过程的心理和理论机制。在人际互动过程层面，这种方法可以识别群体和个体跨期决策之间的差异机制。在信息处理方面，它可以揭示群体跨期决策中决策过程的机制。此类工作的研究结果可为鼓励更具远见的群体跨期决策的干预措施和助推提供依据。
