青少年的未来价值观——关于未来对他们重要的信念——可能会塑造他们成年后的行为。利用英国全国纵向样本，本研究考察了青少年在六个领域（即家庭责任、全职工作、个人责任、自主性、公民责任和享乐主义特权）的未来价值观是否能预测成人的社会角色、公民行为和酒精使用。未来值积极预测同一领域内的行为；跨域关联较少。公民责任正向预测成人的公民行为，但负向预测生育。享乐主义特权正向预测成人酒精使用，负向预测公民行为。结果表明，由于与长期社会和健康行为相关，应该关注青少年如何思考他们的未来。
Adolescent future values – beliefs about what will matter to them in the future – may shape their adult behavior. Utilizing a national longitudinal British sample, this study examined whether adolescent future values in six domains (i.e., family responsibility, full-time job, personal responsibility, autonomy, civic responsibility, and hedonistic privilege) predicted adult social roles, civic behaviors, and alcohol use. Future values positively predicted behaviors within the same domain; fewer cross-domain associations were evident. Civic responsibility positively predicted adult civic behaviors, but negatively predicted having children. Hedonistic privilege positively predicted adult alcohol use and negatively predicted civic behaviors. Results suggest that attention should be paid to how adolescents are thinking about their futures due to the associated links with long-term social and health behaviors.
