“…Although a balanced time orientation and identity are mutually influential, a balanced time orientation precedes identity development and sets the stage for processes driving the development of identity (T. Shirai et al, 2012). Thus, a balanced time orientation can arouse openness to change.…”

“…However, empirical studies find that a balanced time orientation has significant but low correlations with identity formation (T. Shirai et al, 2012). An explanation for these low correlations may be that all studies so far have focused on groups and group averages.…”

“…Our scoring system reflects the assumption that PFO was the highest level, PPO was second, NFO was third, and NPO and PO were the lowest based on the information about this scoring system, see Shirai (1997aShirai ( , 1997b. The rational for this sequence, was based on the findings of T. Shirai et al (2012), who showed the important role of a balanced time orientation in revising identity as individuals accommodate a wider range of life experiences during the transition to adulthood.…”

We studied the relation between time perspective and commitment formation. These concepts are part of a complex dynamic system, in which individual transitional experiences are relevant. Individual development may proceed along different pathways. Based on theory and research we expected that this relation will firstly differ between individuals, and secondly may change within an individual with increasing age during adulthood. We expected stronger within-individual correlations in emerging adulthood than in adulthood because emerging adults have to meet the demands of a transition from school to job places while adult participants in general are either settled in a more stable life pattern with work and their own family or experience idiosyncratic life transitions. For 48 individuals we collected time series of 21 yearly measurements between age 20 and age 40. We found strong differences among these individuals in the within-individual relation between a balanced time perspective and commitment formation. As expected, the relationship in emerging adults was stronger than in later ages. These findings strengthen the notion, based on the concept of non-ergodicity, that if we want to gain knowledge about individual development, we should focus on withinindividual longitudinal relations.

“…Time perspective is used by individuals in forming expectations, goals, and life paths, and thus may influence their identity formation and self-development and enhance their wellbeing. This is true not only for adolescents (Higata & Saito, 2007;Luyckx, Lens, Smits, & Goossens, 2010;Seginer, 2009;Shirai, Nakamura, & Katsuma, 2012) but also for middle-aged people (Higata & Okamoto, 2008), although the way of using time perspectives differ with age (Shirai, 1997). For example, while adolescents form identity by focusing on and pursuing future goals, middle-aged people revise their identity through time integration of the past and future (Shirai, 1997).…”

This study explored how sharing past and future life events among late adolescents and their parents influenced the quality of their own time perspectives. Triads (N ¼104) of female students and their parents described three important life events from their past and future. The results showed that adolescents who shared past and future life events predicted a positive impact on their time perspective, whereas parents displayed a more complex dynamism that included the impact of sharing the past on the future and vice versa. It is suggested that the impact of sharing past and future life events varies according to the age group.

“…The various forms of future thinking have been shown to be important for understanding motivation and self-regulation (Block, 2014; de Bilde, Vansteenkiste, & Lens, 2011). Furthermore, future thinking has implications for many life domains such as health, social relationships, and psychological well-being (Hicks, Trent, Davis, & King, 2012; Schmid, Phelps, & Lerner, 2011; Shirai, 2012; Visser & Hirsch, 2014). …”

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.
