Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction: A Registered Report of Four Tests of Construal Level Theory

Year: 2020

Type: preprint

Abstract: Construal level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: things perceived as less probable (likelihood distance) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about in more abstract terms. The current study provides replications (two direct and two paradigmatic) that test the core assumptions of CLT, and it explores potential moderators and boundary conditions of the effects. Please read the wiki for information about the project compendium.
