AbstractEvidence suggests that college students’ future-related feelings and cognition may influence their trust in government. This study aims to explore whether the association between college students’ future time perspective and trust in government is mediated through the consideration of future consequences (CFC). A cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 1,617 college students (86.6% women) aged 17 to 31 years in China via an online questionnaire. The results showed that the students’ positive, negative and confused future orientation was positively associated with their trust in government. The consideration of far- future consequences positively mediated the relationship between a positive future orientation and trust in government. These findings support the possibility to evaluate college students’ government trust level according to their future orientation, which will improve their positive political participation.

The Relationship

Based on early experiences and current conditions, a future time perspective influences college students’ behaviors, while psychological violence critically threatens college students’ health. This study explored the relationship between a future time perspective and the psychological violence of perpetrators based on an online investigation of 1424 college students (87.1% women) aged 17 to 31 in China. The results showed that a future time perspective is significantly positively associated with psychological violence. Positive future orientation is negatively associated with psychological violence. Negative and confused future orientations are positively associated with psychological violence. These findings support the need to introduce an intervention regarding a future time perspective to reduce psychological violence among college students.

The Future

ABSTRACTAs personal goals continue to be emphasised in theories and research on motivation and future orientation, methods for assessing such goals have diversified. Research with adolescent students shows limitations in prevalent methodologies for eliciting and classifying the content of personal goals. The Future Time Perspective (FTP) model of Joseph Nuttin (1984, 1985) offers an alternative approach. The advantages of the FTP approach are demonstrated by examining the goal profiles of one student using both the FTP and a contrasting methodology (Seginer, 1988). This example is taken from a pilot study of 100 Year 7 and Year 11 secondary school students.

Guide Intervention

51 college students were administered the Reasons for Living Inventory, Zimbardo's Time Perspective Inventory, and the Environmental Deprivation Scale–Questionnaire. Pearson product-moment correlations indicated that those functioning well (low scores on the Environmental Deprivation Scale–Questionnaire) tended to have high scores on the future subscale of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory ( r = −.45, p < .001). There were no significant correlations with the Reasons for Living Inventory's total score or its Survival and Coping Beliefs subscale ( rs = .01 and .05, respectively). The results suggest the use of multidimensional cognitive and behavioral data to guide intervention to improve one's level of functioning. A limitation of the study is the small number of participants.
