Perceived temporal distortions may explain the effect of precarity on intertemporal choices.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Existing research on how environmental volatility affect preferences suggests that preference for delayed rewards reduces in the presence of adverse shocks. Researchers typically use reward discounting frameworks to explain these shifts in temporal preferences as shifts in discount rates. In this manuscript, we reinterpret these preference shifts as changes in perceived time duration. Using data from multiple studies, we found that decreases in choice probability for delayed rewards correspond to increases in perceived delay duration, while keeping discount rates constant. Our empirical study also showed that individuals who experienced extension of perceived time during volatility preferred short-term plans more. Based on these findings, we suggest the necessity of considering perceived temporal distortions to understand preference shifts when one encounters environmental volatility.
