A fair question. Khoth answered it, but since you still write in the present tense, I’ll answer, too: Robin Hanson started with Construal Level Theory and renamed it near/far. In the first link and this summary, he cites reviews, so you can check how closely he matches his sources; and with the name you can find the rest of the literature and check how closely he matches it.
Psychology is extremely fragmented. I don’t think there is any theory well described as “endorsed by psychology researchers.”
I’m not asking for a consensus. I just want to know if there’s anyone in the field who has endorsed near/far mode.
