Malleability of Self- and Now-Prioritizations via Performance Contingent Incentives

Published: April 17, 2024

Prioritizing immediate self (me, now) over distant (other, future) information is an essential social cognition for effectively guiding actions at hand. Building upon recent research on the nuanced nature of prioritization effects, we sought to explore whether such biases could be modulated by external rewards, thereby enhancing task saliency. Our results (N = 161) demonstrated that while effects response speed remained robust against performance contingent accuracy were susceptible modulation. Specifically, rewards amplified both self- (vs other) relevant and information. These findings suggest a potential overlap in processing mechanisms between temporal domains. study contributes novel evidence understanding highlighting their malleability factors. Future investigations should additional factors influencing these biases, shedding light functional roles prioritization.
