Abstract

Preference for delayed rewards has been promoted by making explicit that preference for one alternative implies not receiving the not chosen alternative, a result named the hidden-zero effect. Objective. The present research assessed the generality of the hidden-zero effect in delay discounting tasks in two domains (i.e., monetary and heal­th) in participants that reported alcohol consumption. Method. The participants were exposed to two discounting tasks, one with the implicit zero and one with the explicit zero, using both health and monetary rewards and emplo­ying different amounts. Results. Results showed a tendency to reduce the value of future monetary consequences at higher rate as a function of alcohol drinking. Also, the hidden-zero effect and the magnitude effect were repli­cated in the monetary domain independently of alcohol drinking status. Nevertheless, none of these effects were observed using health outcomes with the actual procedure. Finally, no systematic association between discounting rate and negative consequences derived from alcohol consumption was observed. Conclusions. Making explicit the opportunity cost reduce discounting rate of monetary outcomes, but more research is needed to clarify the absence of effects when deciding about health.
