Abstract
How far into the future can we imagine - and does it shape who we are? In a representative New Zealand sample (N≈500), we compare environmental, work, and general future-thinking prompts. We test effects on imagined temporal distance and examine links with self-continuity, meaning in life and dialogical flexibility.
