Understanding Society User Support

Dear Understanding Society Team,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Shutian Liu, and I am a PhD student at Imperial College London, conducting research on topics such as impulsivity, intertemporal discount rates, patience, and self-control . While I have done my best to navigate your database and explore the available documentation, I realize that your team’s expertise far exceeds my own, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Through the variable search website provided by your team, I have located two relevant variables: Parental assessment of child patience, which asks, "Is CHILD NAME generally an impatient child, or a child with a lot of patience?", and Parental assessment of delayed gratification, which asks, "Is CHILD NAME generally a child who takes a long time to reflect on things and thinks before acting, or is CHILD NAME a child who acts without much reflection, in other words, is very impulsive?"

I would like to confirm that these variables are indeed part of your dataset, and I would appreciate any additional information or variables related to intertemporal discount rates (such as the Monetary Choice Questionnaire) or other constructs relevant to my research.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
