Abstract:
In this study, we investigate whether noncognitive skills of time discounting preference have 1) an effect on the attitude toward studying, and 2) a direct effect on school records. From the estimation results which investigate the relationship between noncognitive skills of time preference and the attitude toward studying, we reveal that students with low time discount rates study longer than students who think that the present is more important than the future. Moreover, the estimation results concerning the relationship between noncognitive skills of time preference and school records show that noncognitive skills of time preference still have positive effects on school record even when we controlled for study time.
