Don’t Risk It. Older Adults Perceive Fewer Future Opportunities and Avoid Social Risk Taking
Drawing from life-span psychology, we conducted two studies to test perceptions of time left in the future as an underlying mechanism for age differences in self-reported social risk taking.

In both studies, older age was associated with rating a lower likel…

In Study 1, we restricted youn…
