Abstract

Construal level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: things perceived as less probable (likelihood distance) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about in more abstract terms. The current study examines the replicability of four seminal findings frequently cited as support for core assumptions of CLT, and explores potential moderators and boundary conditions of the effects.
