How to measure time preferences in children: a comparison of two methods (2015, background): “…patient adults perform better in their job (Burks et al., 2009), have less credit card debt (Meier and Sprenger, 2010), pursue healthier lifestyles (Bickel et al., 1999; Kirby and Petry, 2004; Chabris et al., 2008; Weller et al., 2008) and exhibit higher cognitive skills (Dohmen et al., 2010).”
Delayed reward discounting and addictive behavior: a meta-analysis (2011, background): “…18 vs. 38 Multi-item choice task $1,000 k Kirby et al. 1999 Opiate Heroin addicts vs. controls Yes 56 vs. 60 Monetary Choice Questionnaire $55 (mean) k Kirby and Petry 2004 Opiate Heroin abusers (abstinent) vs. controls No 27 vs. 44 Monetary Choice Questionnaire $55 (mean) k Johnson et al.…”
Fostering Patience in the Classroom: Results from Randomized Educational Intervention (2018, background): “See Fuchs (1982), Bickel et al. (1999), and Harrison, Lau, and Rutström (2010) for smoking; Madden et al. (1997), Kirby, Petry, and Bickel (1999), and Kirby and Petry (2004) for substance abuse; Petry (2001) for pathological gambling; and Beraldo, Caruso, and Turati (2013) for criminal behavior.”
A review of delay-discounting research with humans: relations to drug use and gambling (2006, methodology): “As with the study by Kirby and Petry (2004) there was no difference in delay discounting between the currently using and abstaining cocaine-dependent participants.”
Neural systems implicated in delayed and probabilistic reinforcement (2006, unknown): “…in drug addicts, including alcoholics (Petry, 2001; Vuchinich & Calamas, 1997), cocaine users (Coffey, Gudleski, Saladin, & Brady, 2003; Kirby & Petry, 2004), opiate users (Kirby & Petry, 2004; Kirby, Petry, & Bickel, 1999; Madden, Petry, Badger, & Bickel, 1997), and smokers (Bickel et…”
Impulsivity as a vulnerability marker for substance-use disorders: review of findings from high-risk research, problem gamblers and genetic association studies. (2008, background): “Heroin users also show reliable effects on delaydiscounting tasks, where there is steeper discounting of both hypothetical and real delayed monetary rewards (Bickel and Marsch, 2001; Kirby and Petry, 2004; Kirby et al., 1999; Madden et al., 1997, 1999).”
REVIEW: Behavioural assessment of drug reinforcement and addictive features in rodents: an overview (2006, background): “In this regard, an important source of construct validity of rodent models based on this rationale comes from the higher rate of discount displayed by drug addicts in similar tasks (Bickel & Marsch 2001; Kirby & Petry 2004).”
Associations between a one-shot delay discounting measure and age, income, education and real-world impulsive behavior (2009, background): “Some research has found a positive association between alcohol consumption and delay discounting (e.g., Vuchinich & Simpson, 1998; Mitchell, Fields, D'Esposito, & Boettiger, 2005), whereas other research has failed to find an effect (e.g., Kirby & Petry, 2004).”
Impulsivity, compulsivity, and top-down cognitive control. (2011, unknown): “…discounting is evident in opioid-dependent individuals (Kirby and Petry, 2004), heavy social drinkers (Vuchinich and Simpson, 1998), alcoholics (Petry, 2001), cocaine abusers (Kirby and Petry, 2004), methamphetamine abusers (Monterosso et al., 2007), and cigarette smokers (Bickel et al., 1999).”
Socioeconomic Status and Inequalities in Children’s IQ and Economic Preferences (2017, unknown): “…2005; Golsteyn, Grönqvist, and Lindahl 2014; Cadena and Keys 2015; Dohmen et al. 2018) as well as better health outcomes (Fuchs 1982; Bickel, Odum, andMadden 1999; Kirby, Petry, and Bickel 1999; Kirby and Petry 2004; Chabris et al. 2008; Golsteyn, Grönqvist, and Lindahl 2014; Cadena and Keys 2015).”
