Reports an error in "Can't wait to pay: The desire for goal closure increases impatience for costs" by Annabelle R. Roberts, Alex Imas and Ayelet Fishbach (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Advanced Online Publication, Dec 14, 2023, np). The article is being made available open access under the CC-BY-ND-NC license. The correct copyright is "© 2023 The Author(s)." All versions of this article have been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2024-36187-001). We explore whether the desire to achieve psychological closure on a goal creates impatience. If so, people should choose an earlier (vs. later) option, even when it does not deliver a reward. For example, they may prefer to pay money or complete work earlier rather than later. A choice to incur earlier costs seems to violate the preference for positive discounting (indeed, it may appear like negative time discounting), unless people value earlier goal closure. Across seven studies, we consistently find that people preferred to pay more money sooner over less money later (Study 1) and complete more work sooner over less work later (Studies 2-5) more when they had a stronger desire for goal closure, such as when the sooner option allowed them to achieve goal closure and when the goal would otherwise linger on their minds (compared to when it would not). The implications of goal closure extend to impatience for gains (Studies 6-7), as people preferred less money sooner (vs. more later) when it allowed them to achieve goal closure. These findings suggest that the desire to achieve goal closure is an important aspect of time preferences. Taking this desire into account can explain marketplace anomalies and inform interventions to reduce impatience. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

更正了罗伯茨等人的“迫不及待地付款：对目标结束的渴望增加了对成本的不耐烦”。 （2023）。


报告了 Annabelle R. Roberts、Alex Imas 和 Ayelet Fishbach 的“迫不及待地付款：对目标完成的渴望增加了对成本的不耐烦”中的错误（人格与社会心理学杂志，高级在线出版物，2023 年 12 月 14 日， NP）。本文可在 CC-BY-ND-NC 许可下开放获取。正确的版权是“© 2023 作者”。本文的所有版本均已更正。 （以下原始文章摘要出现在记录 2024-36187-001 中）。我们探讨了实现目标的心理终结的愿望是否会导致不耐烦。如果是这样，人们应该选择更早（而不是更晚）的选项，即使它不会带来奖励。例如，他们可能更愿意早点付款或完成工作，而不是晚点。选择提前承担成本似乎违反了正折扣的偏好（事实上，它可能看起来像负时间折扣），除非人们重视提前完成目标。在七项研究中，我们一致发现，当人们对目标达成的愿望更强烈时，人们更愿意早点支付更多的钱，而不是晚付更少的钱（研究 1），并且更愿意早点完成更多的工作，而不是晚点完成更少的工作（研究 2-5），例如例如，当较早的选择允许他们实现目标时，以及当目标否则会在他们的脑海中挥之不去时（与不会时相比）。目标结束的影响延伸到对收益的不耐烦（研究 6-7），因为当人们能够实现目标结束时，他们更喜欢早点花更少的钱（而不是晚花更多钱）。这些发现表明，实现目标的愿望是时间偏好的一个重要方面。考虑到这种愿望可以解释市场异常现象，并为减少不耐烦的干预措施提供信息。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
