Journal decision: Revise and resubmit

We received the first reviews on the Stage 1 manuscript which will be revised and resubmitted to AMPPS. One major change is that we’ll replace the social-distance study with a second temporal-distance study: Liberman and Trope (1998, Study 1). Data collections will be delayed until the beginning of fall 2021 at its earliest.
