Preferences for Sequences of Outcomes.
Loewenstein, George F.; Prelec, Drazen
Psychological Review, v100 n1 p91-108 Jan 1993
Results from 2 studies involving 52 and 57 adults, respectively, suggest that, when an intertemporal trade-off is embedded in 2 alternative sequences of outcomes, the psychological perspective (frame) shifts and individuals become more farsighted, often wishing to postpone the better outcome to the end. Implications for studying intertemporal choice are discussed. (SLD)
