• Poverty and crime in 19th century Germany (2006, background): “Risky behaviors like drinking may result in part because people systematically fail to consider the future consequences of their current actions—especially if there are immediate utility benefits, as is often the case for drinking alcohol (see O’Donoghue and Rabin [32]).”
• A New Perspective on Perspective Taking: A Multidimensional Approach to Conceptualizing an Aptitude (2004, background): “In their examination of risk and resiliency in adolescence, O'Donoghue and Rabin (2000) address this issue of temporality specifically by noting that youth do not always effectively foresee the future ramifications of their present actions.”
• NEW ECONOMICS OF SOCIOLOGICAL CRIMINOLOGY (2002, background): “As well, findings from the experimental psychology research of Kahneman & Tversky (2000) and others (see O’Donoghue & Rabin 2001) appear inconsistent with predictions derived from the rational choice approach and its assumptions.”
