Measuring Impatience: Elicited Discount Rates and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore intertemporal decision making to test the extent to which elicited discount rates and a self-reported scale of impatience measure the same behavioral characteristic. We conduct experiments in which we elicit discount rates using monetary rewards and a self-reported measure of impatience (the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, BIS-11). Although researchers have utilized these measures to infer aspects of intertemporal preferences, we find no significant correlation between discount rates and the BIS-11 except in the special case where discount rates were elicited after individuals were primed with negative feedback.

Measuring Impatience in Intertemporal Choice
In general terms, decreasing impatience means decreasing discount rates. This property has been usually referred to as hyperbolic discounting, although there are other discount functions which also exhibit decreasing discount rates. This paper focuses on the measurement of the impatience associated with a discount function with the aim of establishing a methodology to compare this characteristi...
متن کاملTime discounting for primary and monetary rewards
There is considerable evidence indicating individuals are highly impatient. In particular, they exhibit higher discount rates in the short run than in the long run (Frederick et al., 2002). This result has significant implications for how we model intertemporal decisionmaking (Strotz, 1955–56). In most of the experiments, short-term discount rates are measured using monetary rewards delivered a...

متن کاملPsychometric properties of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale in patients with gambling disorders, hypersexuality, and methamphetamine dependence.
Although the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS; Patton, Stanford, & Barratt, 1995) is a widely-used self-report measure of impulsivity, there have been numerous questions about the invariance of the factor structure across clinical populations (Haden & Shiva, 2008, 2009; Ireland & Archer, 2008). The goal of this article is to examine the factor structure of the BIS among a sample consisting of t...
