Abstract

Episodic future thinking (EFT), the ability to imagine future autobiographical events, is both an everyday and clinically significant cognitive process. With a focus on depression and suicidality, here we discuss evidence connecting EFT with psychopathology. Emotional valence of imagined future events has emerged as the most widely established feature of EFT detected to date, with less positive EFT being associated with depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This pattern may not be merely a byproduct of sadness or anhedonia. Promising directions for future research include clarifying the temporal association between EFT and clinical outcomes, investigating the potential benefits and drawbacks of positive EFT, and refining assessments for youth to measure EFT either preceding or soon after onset of psychopathology.

偶发性未来思维与精神病理学:关注抑郁症和自杀风险。
情节性未来思维(EFT)是一种想象未来自传体事件的能力,它既是一种日常认知过程,也具有重要的临床意义。在此,我们以抑郁症和自杀为重点,讨论将外显未来思维与精神病理学联系起来的证据。想象未来事件的情绪价值已成为迄今为止所发现的EFT中最广泛确立的特征,较不积极的EFT与抑郁症状及自杀想法和行为相关。这种模式可能不仅仅是悲伤或失乐症的副产品。未来有希望的研究方向包括:明确EFT与临床结果之间的时间关联,调查积极EFT的潜在益处和弊端,以及改进青少年评估,以测量精神病理学开始之前或之后不久的EFT。
