In everyday life, people judge and make decisions about events that will take place either in the relatively near or distant future. Examples include decisions about future education, jobs, close relationships, and health-related events. This program of research investigates how temporal distance from future events influences judgments and decisions regarding those events. It is hypothesized that people will use more abstract thinking when considering distant future events than when considering near future events. As a result, judgments and decisions regarding distant future events are more likely to be based on relatively general, superordinate, and decontextualized features, whereas judgments and decisions regarding near future events are more likely to be based on relatively specific, subordinate, and contextualized features of the events. A series of experiments will test this hypothesis and its implications for time-dependent changes in information processing, predictions, and preferences regarding future events. The findings are expected to identify advantages and disadvantages of decisions at different points in time, and will ultimately help us understand and improve the way people think, plan, and make choices about their future.

在日常生活中，人们对近期或遥远的将来发生的事件进行判断并做出决定。例子包括有关未来教育、工作、亲密关系和健康相关事件的决定。该研究计划调查与未来事件的时间距离如何影响对这些事件的判断和决策。据假设，人们在考虑遥远的未来事件时比考虑近期的事件时会使用更多的抽象思维。因此，对遥远未来事件的判断和决策更可能基于相对普遍、上位和脱离情境的特征，而对近期事件的判断和决策更可能基于相对具体、从属和情境化的特征。的事件。一系列实验将检验这一假设及其对信息处理、预测和未来事件偏好随时间变化的影响。研究结果预计将确定不同时间点决策的优缺点，并最终帮助我们理解和改善人们对未来的思考、计划和选择的方式。
