Résumé
This paper we hypothesize that obese
people showing awareness and commitment
will not show greater delay discounting
than non-obese individuals. To test this
hypothesis, we focus on a small subsample
of obese individuals. Specifically, our pool
of obese people is composed of members
of an association dedicated to helping obese people keep their weight under control
who, moreover, have been treated surgically
for morbid obesity. We interpret these
two ingredients as signals of awareness and commitment.
