本研究使用贴现程序来描述关于假设性结果的选择行为。86名成人本科生完成了计算机延迟和概率贴现任务，假设的钱和假设的性活动。与其他贴现研究结果一致，双曲线和双曲线样衰减模型很好地描述了个体和组的中位数无差异点数据。这些研究结果有助于越来越多的文献贴现程序的决策过程的相关性，并建议贴现程序可能是有用的理解与冲动性决定相关的社会问题行为的基础过程。(C)2010 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The present study used the discounting procedure to characterize choice behaviors regarding hypothetical sexual outcomes. Eighty-six adult undergraduate students completed computerized delay and probability discounting tasks concerning hypothetical money and hypothetical sexual activity. Consistent with other discounting findings, hyperbolic and hyperbola-like decay models described individual and group median indifference point data well. These findings contribute to a growing literature on the relevance of the discounting procedure to decision-making processes and suggest that the discounting procedure may be useful for understanding the processes that underlie social problem behaviors associated with impulsive sexual decisions.
