People often make tradeoffs between current and future benefits. Some research frameworks suggest that people treat the future self as if it were another person, subordinating future needs to current ones just as they might subordinate others' needs to their own. Although people make similar choices for future selves and others in some contexts, it remains unclear whether these behaviors are governed by the same decision policies. So, we identify and compare the unique influence of four relevant factors (need, deservingness, liking, and similarity) on monetary decisions in both the interpersonal and intrapersonal domains. Do people treat the future self and others similarly? Yes and no. Yes, because the influence of these factors on allocations is similar for both types of targets. No, because monetary allocations to the future self are consistently higher than allocations to others. Although the future self is treated like others in some ways, important differences remain that are not fully captured by this analogy.

未来的自我会像其他人一样受到对待吗？比较人际和人际分配的决定因素和水平。

人们经常在当前和未来的利益之间进行权衡。一些研究框架建议人们将未来的自我视为另一个人，将未来的需求服从当前的需求，就像他们可能将他人的需求服从自己的需求一样。尽管人们在某些情况下会为将来的自我和其他人做出类似的选择，但仍不清楚这些行为是否受相同的决策政策支配。因此，我们确定并比较了四个相关因素（需求，应得性，喜好和相似性）对人际和人际领域中的货币决策的独特影响。人们是否会以同样的方式对待未来自我和他人？是的，没有。是的，因为对于这两种目标，这些因素对分配的影响都是相似的。不，因为对未来自我的货币分配始终高于对他人的分配。尽管将来的自我在某些方面像他人一样被对待，但重要的差异仍然存在，这种类比并没有完全抓住。
