The Impact of Psychological Distance on Decision Making
Psychological distance, which refers to the gap between ourselves and distant events or individuals, significantly influences decision-making processes. When events are psychologically distant, such as happening in the distant future or to strangers, we tend to value them less. This can lead to warped decision-making as our actions may not align with what truly matters. Psychological distance is interconnected with control level theory, where proximal events are considered with detailed construals, while distant events evoke abstract construals.
