We investigate gender differences in delay discounting of monetary losses. 203 participants solved a discounting task based on the titration algorithm. The individual rates of delay discounting of losses were calculated with the use of AUC (Area Under the Curve) method. The results show that there is no statistically significant impact of gender on delay discounting of monetary losses. We briefly discuss possible biological and social explanations of the above finding. (original abstract)

Przedmiotem badania są różnice płciowe w czasowym dyskontowaniu strat pieniężnych. Zadanie dyskontowe skonstruowane na podstawie algorytmu miareczkowania rozwiązało 203 uczestników eksperymentu ekonomicznego. Indywidualne stopy dyskontowania w czasie zostały obliczone z użyciem metody AUC. Wyniki badania wskazują na brak istotnego statystycznie efektu płci na dyskontowanie strat pieniężnych w czasie. Autorzy zwięźle dyskutują możliwe biologiczne i społeczne wyjaśnienia uzyskanego wyniku.(abstrakt oryginalny)
