To Know and to Care: How Awareness and Valuation of the Future Jointly Shape Consumer Spending (2014, background): “In contrast, there was no significant effect of the manipulation on people’s beliefs about upcoming changes in their disposable income or free time, their general uncertainty about the future or their preferences, nor on their subjective perceptions of how long a year is (Zauberman et al. 2009).”
On Intertemporal Selfishness: How the Perceived Instability of Identity Underlies Impatient Consumption (2011, background): “The third variable, time perception, has been implicated by Zauberman et al. (2009) as a partial explanation for hyperbolic discounting and for high discount rates in the near future.”
Intuitive numbers guide decisions (2008, result): “Such individual differences in the precision of representations (as measured by the distanceeffect slope) could potentially explain recent results by Zauberman et al. (2008) concerning nonlinearities in sensitivity to objective time and their relation to intertemporal choices.”
The Categorization of Time and Its Impact on Task Initiation (2014, background): “The fact that consumers are willing to precommit to goals as long as they are in the future has been well documented (Thaler and Benartzi 2004; Zauberman and Lynch 2005).”
Personal experience and the ‘psychological distance’ of climate change: An integrative review (2015, background): “Such an account predicts that attempts to manipulate perceptions of temporal distance will impact the degree of present bias observed (e.g., Zauberman et al., 2009).”
Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance (2010, neutral): “It was assumed that individuals who are asked to compare alternatives with nonalignable features would seek to make the attributes comparable by representing the alternatives at increasingly higher levels of abstraction (see M. D. Johnson, 1984; Malkoc, Zauberman, & Bettman, 2008).”
INCREASING SAVING BEHAVIOR THROUGH AGE-PROGRESSED RENDERINGS OF THE FUTURE SELF (2011, background): “, Samuelson 1937), but recent behavioral research suggests that it is better explained by a hyperbolic or quasi-hyperbolic function in certain situations (Kirby and Marakovic 1996; Laibson 1997; Laibson, Repetto, and Tobacman 1998; Strotz 1956; Zauberman et al. 2009).”
Years, Months, and Days versus 1, 12, and 365: The Influence of Units versus Numbers (2012, background): “Specifically, discounting is known to be driven by time perception (Kim and Zauberman 2009; Zauberman et al. 2009).”
Recollection versus Imagination: Exploring Human Memory and Cognition via Neural Language Models (2020, methodology): “We use the logarithm of the time elaspsed since the event, as subjects may perceive the passage of time logarithmically (Bruss and Rüschendorf, 2009; Zauberman et al., 2009).”
