The proposed research investigates how temporal distance from future events influences judgements and decisions regarding those events. It is assumed that people use more schematic construals to represent distant future events than near future events. Therefore, judgements and decisions regarding distant future events are likely to be based on relatively central and abstract features of the events, whereas judgements and decisions regarding near future events are likely to be based on more peripheral and concrete features of the events. The proposed studies are designed to test this assumption 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 point in time and, thus, help us understand and improve the way people think, plan, and make choices about their future.

本研究旨在探讨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。假设人们使用更多的图式解释来表示遥远的未来事件，而不是近期的未来事件。因此，关于遥远未来事件的判断和决策可能基于事件的相对中心和抽象特征，而关于近期事件的判断和决策可能基于事件的更外围和具体特征。拟议的研究旨在检验这一假设及其对信息处理、预测和对未来事件偏好的时间依赖性变化的影响。研究结果有望确定不同时间点决策的利弊，从而帮助我们理解和改进人们思考、计划和对未来做出选择的方式。
