Abstract： “Understanding and improving decision-making” is considered to be a major priority for researchers in behavioral decision-making. Investigating framing effects can simultaneously achieve the goals of understanding and improving decision-making. Currently, framing effects are mainly studied and applied in multi-attribute and risky decision-making fields, with relatively less attention directed toward the exploration of intertemporal and spatial decision-making despite their common occurrences in real-life scenarios. Given the interchangeable nature of time and space, this project seeks to investigate the potential existence of a new time-space framing effect (i.e., preference changes resulting from using a time or space framing to describe the same decision problem) that can effectively contribute to understanding and improving real-life spatiotemporal decision-making. To address the proposed question, this project intends to examine the phenomenon of the time–space framing effect (Study 1), unravel its psychological mechanisms (Studies 2 and 3), and ascertain its practical implications for nudging behavior (Study 4) by employing multiple methods, such as cognitive-behavioral approach, eye-tracking technique, and field experiment. The findings of this project are anticipated to provide a new research perspective and paradigm for understanding intertemporal and spatial decision-making while furnishing psychological insights to nudge individuals and organizations toward making more judicious decisions.
