DOI: 10.1007/s11166-018-9287-1
Abstract: This paper investigates “asymmetries” between non-monetary gains and losses in intertemporal choice. We considered gains and losses of spare/working time with respect to a reference duration defined in a working contract. Specifically, we elicited a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11166-025-09453-x
Abstract: A critical optimization problem is how to distribute resource consumption over time. Humans tend to value immediate rewards over equivalent future rewards—a phenomenon called temporal discounting. Such imbalance can lead to poor health, education, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11187-016-9823-9
Abstract: Differences in temporal discounting could separate self-employed individuals from employees working for wages. Drawing on a sample of 13,198 individuals, from the 2012–2013 cross-sectional STEP Skills Measurement Survey, we find that higher temporal discounting is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.appet.2021.105834
Abstract: Substance use disorders (SUDs) and obesity are both chronic, relapsing, remitting disorders that arise from a heightened preference for immediate-focused rewards (i.e., steep temporal discounting). During recovery from SUDs, overweight and obese outcomes are common… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65110-4
Abstract: People procrastinate, but why? One long-standing hypothesis is that temporal discounting drives procrastination: in a task with a distant future reward, the discounted future reward fails to provide sufficient motivation to initiate work early. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/psyp.13996
Abstract: Humans and many animals devalue future rewards as a function of time (temporal discounting). Increased discounting has been linked to various psychiatric conditions, including substance-use-disorders, behavioral addictions, and obesity. Despite its high intra-individual stability, temporal… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Serotonin has been implicated in impulsive behaviours such as temporal discounting. While animal studies and theoretical approaches suggest that reduced tonic serotonin levels increase temporal discounting rates and vice versa, evidence from human studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0956797617754219
Abstract: Devaluing future outcomes, known as temporal discounting (Frederick, Loewenstein, & O’Donoghue, 2002), hinders one’s ability to act in line with long-term over short-term interests. It is associated with maladaptive behaviors such as smoking (Kirby, Petry,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.643670
Abstract: Intertemporal choice involves deciding between smaller, sooner and larger, later rewards. People tend to prefer smaller rewards that are available earlier to larger rewards available later, a phenomenon referred to as temporal or delay discounting.… read more here.
