Countries with preferences for more immediate rewards are colored in red, countries that emphasize future rewards more are marked in blue, gray colors indicate missing data.

Bubble plots of various variables and universal preferences for time (UP time, on the x-axis).
In most cases, we can see a clear dependence. The sizes of the bubbles correspond to the weight of the country data. Weighted regression lines in red.
