基于社会情绪选择性理论的假设，作者探讨了未来时间视角与社会动机以及个人网络的组成和感知质量之间的关系。480名年龄在20岁到90岁之间的德国参与者参与了这项研究。在两项卡片分类任务中，参与者指出了他们的伴侣偏好和目标优先顺序。参与者还完成了关于个人网络和社会满意度的问卷调查。老年人作为一个群体，认为他们未来的时间比年轻人更有限。认为未来时间有限的人优先考虑情绪上有意义的目标(例如，生成力、情绪调节)，而认为自己的未来是无限制的人优先考虑工具性或与知识相关的目标。研究发现，目标域的优先级与个人网络的大小、组成和感知质量之间存在不同的关联，具体取决于FFP。当参与者认为自己的未来有限时，确定情绪调节目标的优先顺序与更大的社会满意度和较少的与他人的压力相关，研究结果强调了ftp在自我调节社会关系和与之相关的主观体验方面的重要性。
On the basis of postulates derived from socioemotional selectivity theory, the authors explored the extent to which future time perspective (FTP) is related to social motivation, and to the composition and perceived quality of personal networks. Four hundred eighty German participants with ages ranging from 20 to 90 years took part in the study. In 2 card-sort tasks, participants indicated their partner preference and goal priority. Participants also completed questionnaires on personal networks and social satisfaction. Older people, as a group, perceived their future time as more limited than younger people. Individuals who perceived future time as being limited prioritized emotionally meaningful goals (e.g., generativity, emotion regulation), whereas individuals who perceived their futures as open-ended prioritized instrumental or knowledge-related goals. Priority of goal domains was found to be differently associated with the size, composition, and perceived quality of personal networks depending on FFP. Prioritizing emotion-regulatory goals was associated with greater social satisfaction and less perceived strain with others when participants perceived their future as limited, Findings underscore the importance of FTP in the self-regulation of social relationships and the subjective experience associated with them.
