Abstract

Exploring the impact of change perception on temporal discounting, this study (N=140, 69 Males, Mage=39.87) revealed that individuals with stronger sudden change beliefs and lower future self-connectedness prefer immediate rewards, suggesting that personal change expectations and self-continuity perceptions significantly influence discounting behavior.
