Delay of gratification which is based on future - oriented self - regulation largely refers to the tendency to postpone immediate satisfaction and persist in goal - directed behavior in order to obtain more valuable reward. As a kind of self - regulation, it can trans- form individualg future goals and beliefs into actual self - regulation behavior and is directly affected by future time perspective (FTP). The impact of FTP on delay of gratification can be explained by various theories, such as expected - value theory, construal - level theory and selfregulation cyclical model. According to expected -value theory, in the cognitive aspect, individuals with a long FTP formulate longer means - goals structures and are perceived as more capable of gratification delay; in the dynamic aspect, although the anticipated reward decreases with increasing delay intervals, this decrease is less steep for individuals with a long FTP because a given temporal interval to the distant future is psychologically shorter for them. Construal - level theory suggests that psychologically distant e vents are represented by high - level construals and that construals have systematic effects on judgments and decisions. In line with CLT, if temporally distant events activate high - level construals, participants should prefer high - level rather than low - level action i- dentifications for such events. Hence, a shift in focus to the future should promote greater preferences for a larger but delayed utility ( a high - level construal) over a more immediate but smaller gratification ( a low - level eonstrual). Zimmermang self - regulation cyclical model can also explain the impact of FTP on delay of gratification. This model proposes that delay of gratification is a self - regulatory process that must be self - monitored during task performance and altered as needed. It involves three phases : during the forethought phase, individuals with a long FTP are more engaged in task analysis, and develop self - motivational beliefs to
