Abstract
Time is at the core of our decisions, yet the relationship between subjective time representation and decision-making is largely unknown. Time is conceptualized using spatial metaphors, and the metaphors employed differ by language. English and Mandarin both utilize horizontal metaphors; however, vertical metaphors are used more systematically in Mandarin than in English. As a result, implicit spatial priming paradigms have shown that Mandarin speakers more readily think about time vertically. Here, we examined whether this observation extends to the explicit representation of world events and investigated the relationship between the subjective psychological distance of world events and temporal decision-making.
