discounting

A business term for multiplying an amount by a discount rate to determine its present (“discounted”) value. The term has been broadly applied to geriatrics in the NHS and can be defined as the reduction in the costs and benefits of treatment by a fixed annual amount to take into account the declining “value" of an ageing patient over time.

Social Discounting Participants completed a social discounting task (Jones & Rachlin, 2006) in which they were asked to make choices between a hypothetical amount of money to keep for themselves and a hypothetical amount of money to share with a person of a given level of social proximity.

Social discounting was estimated by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) for each participant using the seven indifference points with an ordinal scaling transformation (i.e., [AUC.sub.ord]; Borges, Kuang, Milhorn, & Yi, 2016).
