Samples of 84 middle and 106 late adolescents responded to the Future Time Perspective Inventory and the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire. Statistically significant positive but weak correlations (.20-.26) were found between length of future time perspective and the practice of positive health behaviors in both samples. Subscale analyses of individual health practices in relation to future time perspective yielded some statistically significant positive but weak correlations for both samples.

A sample of 139 young adolescents attending a middle school responded to the Future Time Perspective Inventory and the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire in classrooms. A statistically significant correlation of .46 was found between their scores on future time perspective and ratings for the practice of positive health behaviors. This correlation was larger than those previously reported for middle and late adolescents but smaller than that found for young adults.

Abstract Physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption are recommended to help prevent and manage cardiovascular disease. Yet, most people struggle to meet physical activity and nutrition guidelines. This study examined the role of age and future time perspective for these two health behaviors using repeated daily life assessments as well as accelerometry-based step counts from 70 persons living with the effects of stroke and their partners (50% female, M age=69 years). Consistent with previous research, older age and living with stroke were associated with taking fewer steps in everyday life but also with consuming more fruit and vegetables. Furthermore, participants who viewed their future as being filled with many opportunities took more daily steps and ate more fruit and vegetables than participants low in future opportunities. Further analyses will examine dyadic associations in these two health behaviors as well as partner factors that may facilitate or hamper the engagement of the behaviors. It is important to analyze these relationships to gain further insight into the effects partners have on each other.

Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.
