Choice of Sooner Pain Predicts Steeper Social Discounting
Note. A: Mean p (choose later) across participants grouped into three tertiles of dread, sorted by the parameter 1/ρ . B: Mean p (choose other) across participants grouped by tertiles of dread, sorted by the parameter 1/ρ . Participants in the highest tertile of 1/ρ exhibited substantially higher dread, and also showed significantly higher social discounting (t(40)= 02.26, p = 0.029) than those in the lowest tertile.
