Two studies examined whether episodic future thinking (EFT; pre-experiencing future events) reduces discounting of future rewards (DD). No studies have investigated whether process simulations (i.e., simulating the process of executing a fu...

Research on decision-making styles has shown that stylistic differences matter for real-life outcomes, but less research has explored how styles relate to other differences between individuals. Heeding a call for a more systematic and theor...
