这是一项关于年轻人想象未来生活方式的纵向研究的第一阶段的报告。223名18岁和19岁的成年人的未来可能的自我使用了预期生活史测量(ALH)，这是一种心理工具，促使参与者描述他们从21岁生日到死亡的未来生活历程。当ALH叙事被编码为有无生活事件时，女性参与者比男性参与者更有可能预测职业选择、婚姻、子女、离婚和配偶死亡；当编码为心理素质时，女性参与者表现出更大的心理复杂性和对未来生活角色选择和冲突的意识。与SES较高的参与者相比，SES较低的参与者撰写的ALH叙事具有较少的利他行为，较少的生活角色复杂性意识，以及较少的预期冲突及其解决方案。
This is a report from the first phase of a longitudinal study of the ways young adults imagine their future lives. The future possible selves of 223 18- and 19-year-old adults were examined using the Anticipated Life History measure (ALH), a psychological instrument prompting participants to describe their future life course from their 21st birthday until their death. When the ALH narratives were coded for presence/absence of life events, female participants were more likely to predict career choice, marriage, children, divorce, and death of spouse than their male counterparts; when coded for psychological qualities, female participants demonstrated greater psychological complexity and awareness of future life role choices and conflicts. Participants with lower SES wrote ALH narratives with fewer altruistic acts, less awareness of life role complexity, and fewer anticipated conflicts and their resolutions than those with higher SES.
