Construal-level theory of psychological distance.
TLDR
Supporting this analysis, research shows that the various distances are cognitively related to each other, that theySimilarly influence and are influenced by level of mental construal, and that they similarly affect prediction, preference, and action.

The role of feasibility and desirability considerations in near and distant future decisions: A test of temporal construal theory.
Temporal construal theory states that distant future situations are construed on a higher level (i.e., using more abstract and central features) than near future situations. Accordingly, the theory…

Construal levels and self-control.
TLDR
High-level construals led to decreased preferences for immediate over delayed outcomes, greater physical endurance, stronger intentions to exert self- control, and less positive evaluations of temptations that undermine self-control.

The Psychology of Transcending the Here and Now
TLDR
It is argued that people transcend the present and mentally traverse temporal distance, spatial distance, social distance, and hypotheticality, and is made possible by the human capacity for abstract processing of information.

Temporal construal and time-dependent changes in preference.
TLDR
The results show that the weight of high-level construal features is greater in determining distant future preferences than near future preferences, which has implications for extant theories of time-dependent changes in preference.

Promotion and prevention choices between stability and change.
TLDR
Five studies confirmed this prediction with both situational induction of and chronic personality differences in regulatory focus that individuals in a prevention focus were more inclined to resume an interrupted task rather than do a substitute task and exhibited a reluctance to exchange currently possessed objects or previously possessed objects.

Spatial Distance and Mental Construal of Social Events
TLDR
Results of two experiments suggest that spatially distant events are associated with high-level construals, and that spatial distance can be conceptualized as a dimension of psychological distance.

Distinguishing Gains from Nonlosses and Losses from Nongains: A Regulatory Focus Perspective on Hedonic Intensity
Abstract We find that the pleasure of a gain is generally greater than the pleasure of a nonloss and that the pain of a loss is generally greater than the pain of a nongain. These patterns were found…
