The Influence of Social Exclusion on Intertemporal Decision-making:The Mediating Role of Self-control and the Moderating Role of Need to Belong
Objective:To investigate the mediating role of self-control and the moderating role of the need to belong on intertemporal decision making influenced by social exclusion.Methods:A total of 265 college students were selected as re-search subjects.The experiment employed a one-way between-subjects design,with the independent variable being the type of social situation(social exclusion/social inclusion),the dependent variable being the time discount rate of intertempo-ral decision making,and the mediating variable being the state self-control,and the moderating variable being the need to belong.Results:(1)Social exclusion positively shaped the intertemporal decision making;(2)Self-control played a partial mediating role between social exclusion and intertemporal decision making;(3)The need to belong played a moderating role in the first half of model.When excluded,the self-control resources of individuals with a high need to belong decreased more than those with a low need to belong.Conclusion:Our findings indicate that social exclusion may lead to a decline in self-control resources,which further lead to short-sighted decisions,but this impact is moderated by individual differences in the need to belong.
