초록

왜 사람들은 시간이 걸리는 보상에 대한 인내심이 부족한가? 왜 자신에게 더 유익할 수 있는 미래의 큰 보상보다는 지금 얻을 수 있는 작은 보상을 더 선호하는가? 다른 시점에 주어지는 보상 간 선호의 차이를 연구하는 시점 간 선택 연구에 따르면, 미래 자기 연속성이 선택의 차이를 만들 수 있다. 미래 자기 연속성이란 현재 자기와 미래 자기의 연결 정도에 대한 지각이다. 연구에 따르면, 미래 자기를 타인처럼 여기는 경향이 있기 때문에 사람들은 미래를 위해 현재의 작은 보상을 포기하지 못하는 경향이 강하다. 하지만 현재 자기와 미래 자기가 연결되어있다고 느낄 때, 즉 미래 자기 연속성을 높게 지각하면 이러한 경향은 줄어들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시점 간 선택과 미래 자기 연속성의 관계를 확인하고, 시점 간 선택에 영향을 미치는 미래 자기 연속성의 구성 요소들이 무엇인지 알아보았다. 마지막으로, 어떤 심리, 사회적 변인들이 미래 자기 연속성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 알아보았다. 이를 통해 미래 자기 연속성 개념이 인간의 다양한 판단과 의사결정 과정을 이해하는데 어떻게 새로운 관점을 제공할 수 있을지 알아보고자 하였다.

Abstract

Why do people often seem impatience about the far future rewards? Why do people often choose a smaller but immediate reward over a larger one in the future? Literature on intertemporal choices explains that future self-continuity can influence their degree of impatience. Future self-continuity is the sense of connectedness between the current and future selves. According to the research on self-continuity, the present self tends to regard the future self as a stranger. Therefore, it may be difficult for the current self to endure the rewards for the future self. However, this shortsightedness could decrease if people feel connected to their future selves. This paper investigated the relationship between future self-continuity and intertemporal choice and the components of future self-continuity that affect intertemporal choice. Finally, the paper explored psychological and social variables influencing the perception of future self-continuity. Throughout this, we discuss possible implications related to future research.
