Time Perspective in Career-Related Choices: Applications of Time-Discounting Principles.
Hesketh, Beryl
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v57 n1 p62-84 Aug 2000
Study 1 (n=40) examined the influence of time delay on decisions between paying student fees and receiving scholarships; greater time discounting occurred for positive outcomes. Study 2 compared 13 expert career counselors with 22 novices, finding no difference in degree of discounting their own job preferences. However, experts assessed the average graduate's decisions more realistically. (SK)
