“…Regarding both the concept and operationalisation of CFC, different perspectives exist about the construct consisting of one, two, or multiple factors (Ryack, 2012;Zhang, Kong, Zhang, & Li, 2012).…”

“…This study used the original version of the CFC scale (Strathman et al, 1994). Future research should use, test, adapt, and improve different scales for assessing considerations of immediate/present and future consequences, particular for young respondents (Mello et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2012). Other personality traits can be considered in relation to consumers' time perspectives and health behaviours, such as personality traits (Carrillo, Prado-Gasco, Frizman, & Varela, 2012).…”

This study uses the subscales of Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) to explore the effects of future (CFC-future) and immediate (CFC-immediate) on convenience food consumption among teenagers in Vietnam. Furthermore, we investigate the mediating and dual role of hedonic and healthy eating values in the relationships between CFCs and convenience food consumption. Survey data from 451 teenagers in Central Vietnam and structural equation modelling were used to test the relationships in a proposed theoretical model. The results indicate that while CFC-immediate and hedonic eating value has a positive direct effect, CFC-future and healthy eating value has a negative direct effect on convenience food consumption. The findings also reveal that both CFC-immediate and CFC-future have positive effects on hedonic and healthy eating values. However, this study argues and tests the relative importance of the direct (asymmetric) effects of time perspectives on eating values, and finds that while CFC-future dominate in explaining healthy eating values, CFC-immediate dominate in explaining hedonic eating values.

“…Given reported cultural, individual, and contextual variation in the adoption of imagery perspectives and future-self connectivity (e.g., Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2008;Christian et al, 2013;Cohen, Hoshino-Browne, & Leung, 2007;Zhang, Kong, Zhang, & Li 2015), it will be essential for further research to investigate how these factors influence intertemporal choice. For example, do cultural differences (i.e., collectivist vs. individualistic) in the adoption of imagery perspectives impact rates of saving at a societal level?…”

Saving for your future self: The role of imaginary experiences

Despite increased longevity, many people fail to save the funds necessary to support their retirement. In an attempt both to elucidate and remedy this failing, research exploring the 'futureself continuity' hypothesis has revealed that temporal discounting is decreased and saving increased when connections between one's current and future self are strengthened. Here we explored the possibility that a basic component of mental imageryspatial visual perspectivemay be an important determinant of people's decisions to spend now or save for the future. The results of two experiments supported this prediction. Rates of saving were enhanced when a distant-future event was generated from a third-person versus first-person vantage point, an effect that was mediated by visual bodily awareness during mental imagery.

“…Some studies, however, have found different factor solutions. A few studies supported the original unidimensional structure of the scale (Crockett, Weinman, Hankins, & Marteau, 2009;Hevey, Pertl, Thomas, Maher, Craig, & Ni Chuinneagain, 2010), whereas other studies supported a bifactor model (McKay, Cole, & Percy, 2015;McKay, Morgan, van Exel, & Worrell, 2015) or found factor structures with more than two factors (Ainin, Jaafar, & Dezdar, 2015;Ryack, 2012;Zhang, Kong, Zhang, & Li, 2015). The majority of the evidence seems to suggest that a two-factor model fits the CFC scale best.…”

“…One of these factors reflects consideration of future consequences (labeled CFC-future, consisting of five items), whereas the other one reflects consideration of immediate consequences (labeled CFC-immediate, consisting of seven items, Joireman et al, 2008). Some studies have found different factor solutions (i.e., either one factor or more than two factors; Ainin, Jaafar, & Dezdar, 2015;Crockett et al, 2009;Hevey et al, 2010;McKay, Cole, & Percy, 2015;McKay, Morgan, van Exel, & Worrell, 2015;Ryack, 2012;Zhang, Kong, Zhang, & Li, 2015). Generally, the CFC scale has good reliability, although this could be partly due to the fact that respondents who have difficulties with understanding the items tend to consistently use the midpoint of the scale (Crockett et al, 2009).…”

Considering a healthy future : effects of time orientation on eating and exercising behavior

Many everyday decisions have an intertemporal character and are consequently influenced by an individual's time orientation. In Section 2.2, we discuss and compare various conceptualizations of time orientation, such as discounting, time perspective and consideration of future consequences, and ways to measure these concepts. In addition, we provide an overview of studies on the relations between various time orientation measures. In Section 2.3, we discuss the extent to which time orientation is a domain-general or domain-specific construct, by reviewing studies that compare time orientation across and within various domains, such as money and health. In Section 2.4, we discuss the relationship between time orientation and health behavior. We conclude with a general discussion of the different constructs and measures.
