Delay discounting rate by a surrogate decision maker depends on the smoking status of the recipient.

Abstract: = 42). Higher rates of delay discounting for the smoker recipient compared to the nonsmoker recipient were observed across all three studies. These results parallel previous findings showing group differences in discounting between actual smokers and nonsmokers. We discuss the similarities between the present results and previous studies in light of an extension of Bem's (1967) self-perception theory, which posits that choices in laboratory-based delay discounting tasks are informed by observation of real-world intertemporal choice. The theory asserts that there is no fundamental difference between a first-person account of such knowledge and a third-person account. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
