Abstract
In a multinational sample (N=4,452) recruited from 13 countries that varied in pandemic severity and vaccine uptake, we examined whether short-sighted decision-making as exemplified by steep delay discounting predicts COVID-19 vaccination status. The tendency to choose small immediate rewards over larger future rewards is a behavioral marker of vaccine compliance.
