Code availability Code for this study is available through the Open Science Foundation repository https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/ZPQ69, which links to a GitHub repository and contains an archived version of the repository. The value-guided construal model and alternative models were implemented in Python (v.3.7.4) using the msdm (v.0.6) library, numpy (v.1.19.2) and scipy (v.1.5.2). Experiments were implemented using psiTurk (v.3.2.0) and…
