Construal Level Theory (CLT) of psychological distance
Publications on CLT include (1) reviews, papers that address the basic questions of (2) what is psychological distance, (3) what is abstraction (level of construal) as well as (4) how and why distance and level of construal (abstractness) are related. Distance is inherent in many psychological processes and over the years I examined its effects on (5) decision making, (6) communication, social exchange and social comparison, (7) creativity, cognitive performance and working memory, and (8) generalization of learning. My research also addressed, within the framework of CLT, (9) self-control, (10) prediction, (11) attitudes, values and the self, (12) morality, and (13) embodiment of mental representations.
