Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.

A widespread "old woman"-stereotype depicts the aging female as hypochondriac and illnessstricken. Considering several health-related variables (objective health assessment done by a physician; subjective health ratings on physical well-being and perceived stress; the degree of concern about health as a major theme of life; coping styles with regard to health status) data of 39 old aged women, born between 1890 and 1905 and grouped according to the manifestation of marital status, from the Bonn longitudinal study of aging were carefully analyzed. Evidence was yielded for 'future time perspective' being an important aspect of the psychological construct 'life satisfaction' because of having a strong impact on health-related behavior. Furthermore, some rather distinct patterns of dealing with health-related aspects were sketched out according to the specific manifestation of marital status. In general, the popular stereotype could not be supported: congruence between objective and subjective health ratings was more common than the reverse. While some women rather experienced physical decline, there were others who manifested "transcendence from bodily restriction" thus giving proof of growth-oriented developmental change and a high degree of plasticity and flexibility in very old age.
