The Relationship between Age and Lifelong Learning: The Moderating Role of Future Time Perspective

Poster Session VI

Keyword: Aging

Abstract: Based on the socioemotional selectivity theory, we tested the relationship between age and learning and the moderating role of future time perspective (FTP) in two surveys and two experiments (Ntotal = 895). Age was negatively associated with learning. This relationship was nonsignificant among people who reported a more expanded FTP.
