The Effect Of Power On Temporal Discounting In Different Situation And Time Distance

Temporal Discounting is the hot areas of research in the psychology field. Because of the variety and complexity of the concept itself, there is lots of complicated factors to affecting Temporal Discounting. Although a large number of scholar to research it from different standpoints, there are still a blank in the research of Temporal Discounting from power perspective. Furthermore, there are two important points to reducing Temporal Discounting by improve our Power-perception and helping enterprise to retain the person of ability. At the same time, this research can provide the basis of theory and practice which can advance concepts of rational decision from consumer. Therefore the academic circle should increase their exploration.Based on the Priyanka and Nathanael(2013)study, the main method is the situation experment in this research. This paper has reference some other articles and research as follows: Carney,Cuddy and Yap(2010):the operation of power. Feng(2012)and Qin(2013):the set of temporal discounting context. He(2010)the staged construction of temporal discounting. Temporal discounting rate k was used as temporal discounting measure. On the basis of past research, We explored the influence of diverse power effects on temporal discounting. The results are as follows:(1)In different power versions, temporal discounting have influence. The high-power participants have less temporal discounting rate than the low-power.(2)Temporal discounting have influence in different situation. The low-power participants have better temporal discounting rate than the high-power in different situation.(3)Temporal discounting have influence in different time distance. After weeked temporal discounting have less rate than after a year.(4)There have interaction between time distance and different situation.
