The contrast among inducted groups indicates that manipulation of temporal focus can be an important tool to reduce the discounting rate. 
The observed results between the inducted groups were significant in the first and second experiment. These results showed a reduction of discounting rate when the temporal focus and the decisions were considered in the same time period. (better)
High discount rates have been associated with a number of risk behaviors. Thus, the temporal focus appears as a possible solution for the treatment and prevention of these behaviors.
This project constitutes an advance in the understanding of psychological time, evidencing influences of temporal focus on our behavior.
