For this reason, they could be expected to stick with their previous decisions and invest an increasing amount of resources in those decisions, despite the fact that neg...

Fortunately, these separate endeavors are converging and can be effectively integrated. Focusing on the fundamental features of picoeconomics, expectancy theory, cumulative prospect theory, and need theory, we construct a temporal motivational theory (TMT). TMT appears consistent wi...
