一系列四项研究表明，在不同的识解水平、不同类型的活动中，对于以自我和他人为目标的活动，以高水平的术语解释活动会促进人们对更遥远的未来的感知，以适合于它们的制定。具体地说，研究表明，思考行动的上级“为什么”(而不是从属“如何”)方面，思考行动对一个人个性的影响(而不是执行行动时使用的对象)，以及思考行动的抽象(而不是具体)方面，会让人们期待行动在更遥远的未来进行。这些结果表明，识解水平与时间洞察力的关联是双向的，时间洞察力影响识解水平，另外，识解水平影响时间洞察。(C)2006 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
A series of four studies demonstrates that, across different operationalizations of level of construal, different types of activities, and for both the self and another person as targets, construing activities in high-level terms fosters perception of the more distal future as appropriate for their enactment. Specifically, the studies show that thinking about superordinate "why" (rather than subordinate "how") aspects of actions, about the implications of actions for one's personality (rather than the objects that would be used in performing the action), and about abstract (rather than concrete) aspects of actions leads people to expect the actions to be performed in the more distant future. These results suggest that the association of level of construal and time perspective is bi-directional, in that time perspective affects level of construal and, in addition, level of construal affects time perspective.
