Abstract

Background and objective: Research has shown that perceptions of future time as limited are associated with more depressive symptoms. However, there is limited research on which dimensions of future time perspective (FTP: opportunity, extension, constraint) are associated with depression, anxiety, and stress, and whether these findings vary across age.

Design and methods: Data came from a cross-sectional study in a nonclinical U.S. sample (N = 793, 48.0% male; 48.7% female; age: M = 50 years, range: 19-85 years), and local structural equation modeling was used to examine the moderating role of age as a continuous variable rather than artificial age groups.

Results: For all dimensions of FTP, the perception of the future as limited was moderately to strongly associated with higher depression, anxiety and stress levels. More importantly, the association between the perceived constraint dimension and depression, anxiety, and stress was twice as large at younger ages than at older ages.

Conclusion: These findings indicate that perceived constraint is primarily a strong risk factor for or indicator of negative wellbeing in young adulthood, whereas perceived limited opportunity and extension are potential risk factors or indicators across the entire adulthood.

未来时间视角与成年后的抑郁、焦虑和压力。

背景和目的：研究表明，认为未来时间有限与抑郁症状增多有关。然而，关于未来时间视角（FTP：机会、延伸、限制）的哪些维度与抑郁、焦虑和压力相关，以及这些发现是否因年龄而异的研究却很有限：数据来自一项横断面研究，研究对象为美国非临床样本（N = 793，48.0% 为男性；48.7% 为女性；年龄：M = 50 岁，范围：19-85 岁），并使用局部结构方程模型来检验年龄作为连续变量而非人为年龄组的调节作用：结果：在 "未来之路 "的所有维度中，认为未来有限与抑郁、焦虑和压力水平较高之间存在中度到高度的关联。更重要的是，年轻时感知到的限制维度与抑郁、焦虑和压力之间的关联是年长时的两倍：这些研究结果表明，感知到的限制主要是青年期负面幸福感的一个强有力的风险因素或指标，而感知到的机会有限和扩展则是整个成年期的潜在风险因素或指标。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
