Objective:To explore the influence of power on intertemporal choice and the moderating role of hope.Meth-ods:Study 1 used an experimental method to manipulate hope,and questionnaires were used to measure the general sense of power and intertemporal choice.Study 2 used an experimental method to manipulate the level of power,and question-naires were used to measure hope and intertemporal choice.Results:High-power individuals preferred long-term options compared with those with low power.Individuals with high hope preferred long-term options compared with those with low hope.Hope moderated the influence of power on intertemporal decision-making as when individuals were in a neutral mood(Study 1)or for individuals with low hope(Study 2),low-power individuals were more short-sighted than high-power in in-tertemporal choice;But when individuals were in hopeful emotions or for high-hope individuals,the influence of power on intertemporal choice disappeared.Conclusion:Hope can buffer the short-sighted tendency of low-power people in inter-temporal choice.
