“…In the present study, we used Future Orientation Scales to measure subjects' positive future focus and assessed the influence of early life stressful events and genetic factors that interact to shape positive future focus. Recent research has demonstrated that positive future focus, which is also a component of resilience, positively predicts health behaviours and mental health and negatively predicts risk behaviours such as alcohol and drug use (Hu & Gan, ; Webster, Bohlmeijer, & Westerhof, ).…”

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the NPY rs16147 polymorphism interacts with the environment to have an impact on resilience and positive future focus. Methods: In Study 1, 1,140 earthquake survivors were evaluated; self-reported trauma exposure level and resilience were reported. Study 2 included 2,370 company employees and university students; information regarding self-reported early stressful life events and positive future focus were obtained. Results: In both studies, the results showed a significant effect of interaction between the NPY rs16147 polymorphism and the level of stress on resilience. In Study 1, the T allele carriers reported consistent levels of resilience in low, moderate, and high levels of trauma exposure. In Study 2, the T genotype was associated with higher levels of positive future focus following early adversity. Conclusions: Our findings are discussed in light of the differential post-stress growth hypothesis.

“…It has been reported that future‐oriented coping correlates positively with positive affect, optimism, and satisfaction with life (Sohl & Moyer, ), and correlates negatively with perceived pressure (Hu & Gan, ) and depression (Gan et al, ) in undergraduate students. Based on data collected from Chinese college students, researchers found that future‐oriented coping is positively associated with student engagement (Gan et al, ) and successful job hunting (Hu & Gan, ), but is negatively associated with maladjustment to college life (Gan et al, ). Not only has future‐oriented coping been found to predict positive outcomes among young people, but it has also been found to predict these outcomes among older adults.…”

Moderating effect of age on the association between future time perspective and preventive coping

The present study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of age on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and future-oriented coping. A total of 1,915 participants aged 9-84 years completed measures of FTP and future-oriented coping. Moderation analyses were conducted to examine whether age played a role in the association between FTP and future-oriented coping (proactive and preventive). Results showed that proactive and preventive coping were negatively correlated with age, and age moderated the association between FTP and preventive coping but not proactive coping. Furthermore, the strength of the positive association between FTP and preventive coping was strongest among the older participants, moderate among the middle-aged participants, and weakest among the younger participants. These results suggest that the association between FTP and preventive coping varies across the lifespan.

“…Para lá de outros benefícios previamente encontrados -e.g. na procura de emprego, Hu & Gan, 2011; no ajustamento à universidade, Gan et al, 2007 -esta tendência para agir à frente do tempo revela-se preditora de importantes dimensões individuais (bem-estar subjetivo) e relacionais (ajustamento diádico). Em linha com estudos prévios sobre os mecanismos de autorregulação relacional (Halford et al, 2007;Weigel & Ballard-Reisch, 1999), os nossos dados (2008), "a conexão entre a autorregulação e as relações íntimas é recíproca: relações íntimas saudáveis não apenas realizam boa autorregulação, elas na verdade fortalecem a autorregulação" (p.1) Este estudo tem diversas implicações práticas, disponibilizando evidência empírica atual para compreensão dos perfis de coping de indivíduos adultos no contexto das suas relações de casal, assim como do seu impacto no bem-estar pessoal e no ajustamento diádico.…”
