“…We did not find any significant gender difference in proactive coping ( t = 0.61, p > .05) or preventive coping ( t = −0.14, p > .05). When the two FOCI subscale ratings of our sample were compared with previous findings (Proactive Coping score: 22.27–35.20, SD = 2.50–4.60; Preventive Coping score: 24.96–36.84, SD = 2.38–4.57; Chen et al, ; Fan & Gan, ; Gan et al, , , ; Gan, Zheng, & Wen, ; Hu & Gan, ), our participants had comparable future‐oriented coping.…”

“…Moreover, less preventive coping was found to be associated with more emotional exhaustion, lower work engagement, and lower relationship satisfaction (Niessen, Müller, Hommelhoff, & Westman, ). Other studies (Chen et al, ; Ying, Gan, Liu, Nie, & Chen, ; Zambianchi & Ricci Bitti, ; Zhou, Gan, Knoll, & Schwarzer, ) have also investigated the cognitive components of future‐oriented coping, and found that future‐oriented coping is significantly associated with cognitive components, such as future‐oriented thoughts (Chen et al, ; Zambianchi & Ricci Bitti, ), forecasting possible emotional reaction outcomes (Ying et al, ), and executive planning with intentions to approach or avoid the targeted events (Zhou et al, ). These processes had been found to involve future thinking (D'Argembeau, Ortoleva, Jumentier, & Van der Linden, ; Szpunar, Spreng, & Schacter, ).…”

“…However, the majority of studies on future‐oriented coping have been limited to behavioral and self‐report data (Chen et al, ; Devonport & Lane, ; Hu & Gan, ) and only a few studies have examined the putative neural substrates of future‐oriented coping. Recent neuroimaging studies have postulated that the default mode network (DMN) may play an important role in future‐oriented thinking (Addis, Wong, & Schacter, ; Andrews‐Hanna, Reidler, Sepulcre, Poulin, & Buckner, ; Schacter & Addis, ).…”

Neural correlates of future‐oriented coping: Preliminary evidence from a resting‐state functional connectivity study

Future-oriented coping is a strategy for coping with events that may happen in the future, including efforts to ensure positive outcome and protection from potential threats. Appropriate future-oriented coping is essential for well-being and influences mental health and life satisfaction. However, little is known about the neural mechanism of future-oriented coping. We examined the neural basis of this coping strategy using resting-state functional connectivity analysis. Thirty healthy volunteers underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning and completed the Future-Oriented Coping Inventory. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis was used to investigate potentially correlated regions, with 11 nodes in the default mode network defined as regions of interest. Multiple regression analysis was performed to measure the correlation between coping behavior and functional connectivity. We found that proactive coping was significantly correlated with the functional connectivity strength between the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and the claustrum/insula. These novel findings suggest that cooperation between the PHC and the claustrum/insula plays an important role in proactive coping.Moreover, cognitive components, such as future thinking (the PHC) and sensory judgment (the claustrum/insula) could be important process factors in proactive coping.

“…Past-Negative perspective was connected with fear, neuroticism, depression (McKay, Cole, & Andretta, 2016;van Beek, Berghuis, Kerkhof, & Beekman, 2011), gambling, propensity for addiction (Klingeman, 2001;, and low self-esteem (Stolarski, Matthews, Postek, Zimbardo, & Bitner, 2014;Zhang & Howell, 2011). Future perspective was positively related with optimism , academic achievements (Barber, Munz, Bagsby, & Grawitch, 2009), cognitive and behavioural coping strategies (Bolotova & Hachaturova, 2013;Chua, Milfont, & Jose, 2015), and health promoting behaviours (Boyd & Zimbardo, 2005;Chen et al, 2017;Guthrie, Butler, & Ward, 2009;Henson, Carey, Carey, & Maisto, 2006). Present-Hedonistic perspective was positively correlated with risky behaviours (Rothspan & Read, 1996;Zimbardo, Keough, & Boyd, 1997), alcohol consumption, and drug abuse (Daugherty & Brase, 2010;Keough, Zimbardo, & Boyd, 1999).…”

The perception of time plays a fundamental role in the organisation of basic psychological processes, and as such may also influence migrants’ psychological wellbeing. This paper investigates the relationship between the perception of time and immigrants’ psychological adaptation (i.e., affective aspects of migration) based on a sample of 238 Ukrainians residing in Poland. To assess time perception, we drew primarily from time perspective theory, which defines time perspective as a measure of the degree to which individuals non-consciously construe the past, the present, and the future. Psychological adaptation was assessed, focusing on participants’ basic psychological needs satisfaction, their satisfaction with life, and their psychological condition. We observed a relatively strong negative relationship between negative past and fatalistic present time perspectives and psychological adaptation. Additionally, we found that a more balanced and less negative temporal profile was related to significantly better psychological adaptation of immigrants. We discuss these results in light of the cultural validity of time perspective theory, the destructive impact of negative time perspective on migrants’ psychological wellbeing, and the potential applications of time perspective-based therapy in integration interventions for immigrants.

“…Earlier research, by Gould et al (2015), indicated that people at an advanced age (mean age 81) eschew pro-active coping by prioritising present emotional well-being and avoiding thoughts of future risks. In addition, Chen et al (2017) found that older adults gradually adopt decreasingly future-oriented behaviour due to a perception of less remaining time in life. However, it is remarkable that, in our study, we found this "wait-and-see" attitude even among young older adults, aged 65-75, because, from a statistical point of view, their life expectancy is relatively high, and it might therefore be relevant for them to think about maintaining well-being in future.…”

Purpose Efficacious self-management at older ages requires the ability to make an accurate appraisal of one’s current and future health situation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how community living older adults, with different self-perceived health status, appraise their future health status and their future health-care and housing needs. Design/methodology/approach The study population, 555 community living older adults, aged 65–75, completed a questionnaire for self-screening of their general health status. Findings The results show that over 70% of the older adults, even many of those who perceive their own health status to be “poor” or “fair” and those who are “frail”, do not expect deterioration in their physical or mental health nor extra health-care or housing needs within the next half year. In addition, a substantial part of the respondents, particularly those who perceive their general health as less favourable, tend to have a “wait-and-see” attitude and want to live their life day-to-day. Practical implications Community living older adults may not always be able or motivated to monitor their own health condition and prepare themselves for changing needs. Supporting older adults by motivating and teaching them to monitor their condition and overcome barriers to engage in pro-active coping can help older adults to manage the negative consequences of ageing while they have still sufficient resources available. Originality/value The findings of this study can help health-care professionals to tailor the support of older adults’ self-management.
