Abstract:
The current study employed the temporal discounting task to assess differences in intertemporal decision-making between hearing-impaired and normal children across self-oriented and other-oriented choices. The results showed that: (1) no significant difference was observed between hearing-impaired and normal children when making intertemporal choices for themselves; (2) when decisions were made for close family, hearing-impaired children exhibited a significantly higher preference for immediate rewards compared to normal children; (3) conversely, when making choices for strangers, no significant difference was noted in the immediate reward selection rates between hearing-impaired and normal children. Extant research corroborates that normal children display greater patience in intertemporal decision-making for close family compared to hearing-impaired children. The construal level theory and responsibility aversion hypothesis were expand.
