Trope's research examines social and emotional factors in decision-making.
Other work has focused specifically on temporal construal, or how distance in time affects one's perceptions of present and future events.[11] Trope and Liberman draw a contrast between high-level construal of temporally distant events, which captures the bigger picture or the overall main point with a few abstract features, and low-level construal of temporally close events, which includes smaller details that do not play an essential role in the event or are of little importance.[12]
