Summary/Abstract: We investigate gender differences in delay discounting of monetary losses. 203 par-ticipants solved a discounting task based on the titration algorithm. The individual rates of de-lay discounting of losses were calculated with the use of AUC (Area Under the Curve) method. The results show that there is no statistically significant impact of gender on delay discounting of monetary losses. We briefly discuss possible biological and social explanations of the above finding.
