TL;DR: This paper proposed a new construct called consideration of future consequences (CFC), which is hypothesized to be a stable individual difference in the extent to which people consider distant versus immediate consequences of potential behaviors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the processes by which positive mood influences attitude change under high and low message elaboration conditions and found that positive mood had a direct effect on attitudes in low-elaboration conditions but influenced attitudes indirectly by modifying the positivity of thoughts in the high-enhanced conditions.

TL;DR: Structural equation modeling showed that those high in CFC-Future engage in exercise and healthy eating because they adopt a promotion orientation, and future use of the two-factor C FC-14 scale is encouraged to shed additional light on how concern with future and concern with immediate consequences (proper) differentially impact the way people resolve a host of intertemporal dilemmas.

TL;DR: The role of counterfactuals in judgments of affective reactions to outcomes was examined in this paper, where subjects read about individuals who experienced gains or losses as a result of either deciding to take action and make a change or deciding not to take any new action.

TL;DR: Four studies involving 573 female and 272 male college students demonstrated that multiple forms and measures of aggression were associated with high levels of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and a focus on the immediate consequences of behavior.
