Abstract:
Intertemporal decision-making refers to the individual weighing and making decisions on
the value of different timelines. The completion of intertemporal decision-making requires self-control.
However, the theory of self-control resources believes that the total amount of resources is limited. The
individual ego depletion of cognitive resources will lead to the failure of personal self-control behavior.
However, there are inconsistent conclusions on the negative influence of ego depletion on decisionmaking:
it may cause individuals to make impulsive decisions; or they may lead to more conservative
decisions. And such as emotion, impulsivity, risk preference, etc. will affect intertemporal decisionmaking.
跨期决策(Intertemporal Decision-making)是指个体对在不同时间点的价值进行权衡与决策。做出良好的跨期决策需要执行自我控制。根据自我控制资源理论,资源是有限的,个体认知资源出现自我损耗(Ego Depletion)时会导致个人自控行为的失败。即自我损耗对决策存在一定的消极影响,但这种影响是导致个体更冲动还是更保守尚且不明确。那么如何避免自我控制行为的失败,并在较短时间恢复自我控制资源,以避免决策行为收到消极影响呢?正念不失为一种良策,它是一种有目的地、不加判断地关注当下的方式。研究表明,正念水平影响个体的行为表现,但正念能否对自我损耗进行补偿并未达成一致意见,并且以往研究多集中于运动领域,缺乏认知领域的研究。
