What is the correct scientific term of having a short-term or long-term mindset (in the field of health and healthy lifestyle)? For research on changing lifestyle behaviours to prevent future disease, I am looking for literature on what the influence is of having a short-term versus a long-term oriented mindset. However, I cannot come up with the correct term for this and therefore do not manage to find useful scientific literature. 
Any suggestions? Perhaps even recommendations of literature?
One search term that might be useful is temporal discounting. 

Here's a relevant Psychlopedia article, and a relatively recent paper that may have some useful references for navigating the literature.
