Summary: | We recruited 118 university student participants from Beijing to examine how the benevolence-dependability value affects intertemporal choice and how perceived socioeconomic status moderates this relationship. The results showed that participants' benevolence-dependability
value positively predicted their intertemporal choice, and that perceived socioeconomic status moderated this relationship. Further, the benevolence-dependability value of individuals of higher perceived socioeconomic status did not have a significant effect on intertemporal choice.
In contrast, the benevolence-dependability value of those of lower perceived socioeconomic status significantly affected their intertemporal choice. These findings suggest that individuals with the benevolence-dependability value make long-term decisions. Theoretical implications
for the development of long-term benefits and practical implications for the planning of effective training for business are discussed. |
