摘要

The current study adopted temporal discounting task and conducted two experiments to first compare the differences in intertemporal choice between hearing-impaired and normal children. Then, it examined the differences in intertemporal choice between hearing-impaired and normal children in different self-constructions. The results indicate that: (1) there was no significant difference in immediate option selection ratios in intertemporal decision-making between hearing-impaired and normal children; (2) At the level of independent self-construal, the selection rate of immediate options for normal children was significantly higher than that of hearing-impaired children; (3) At the level of interdependent self-construal, the selection rate of immediate options for hearing-impaired children was significantly higher than that of normal children. The current study confirms that that there are situational differences in intertemporal decision-making between hearing-impaired and normal children, expanding the scope of application of self-construction theory.
