Personal and Collective Memories and Future Thoughts
Self-based mental time travel - the ability to remember past events and imagine future events on a personal timeline - is well-characterized in cognitive science. A similar, but less-understood, ability is that of collective memory and collective future thinking, termed collective mental time travel (CMTT). To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the episodic richness of collective memory and future thoughts using an in-person la…
Anxiety and Future-Self Clarity
Possible selves reflect one's hopes and fears for their future identity. Previous research shows that high anxiety is associated with clearer feared possible selves. However, the mechanism through which clarity could maintain anxiety is relatively unexplored as are questions concerning whether clarity of possible selves could offer new methods of reducing anxiety. The present article aimed to investigate if the relationship between clarity and an…
Anxiety, Self-Satisfaction and Self-Defining Events
Increasing self-satisfaction could reduce anxiety symptomology; however, strategies to enhance self-satisfaction are relatively unexplored. The primary aim of the present research was to examine the relationship between self-defining events (past and future), self-satisfaction, and anxiety. In total, 155 students (78.1% female, mean age = 20.54, SD = 5.49) were recruited from an English University. Participants were asked to record the content an…
Predictors of obsessive–compulsive symptomology
Expert guidance for environmental compensation is consistent with public preferences – Evidence from a choice experiment in Sweden
Public acceptance of environmental compensation (offsetting) as a mechanism to address negative human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services is critical. Given that “in-kind/on-site” compensation is rarely possible, proposals must address trade-offs with respect to design. We measure Swedish citizens’ support for compensation and analyze preferences for design attributes based on a choice experiment in which respondents choose between var…
Synthesizing the effects of mental simulation on behavior change
Mental simulation of future scenarios is hypothesized to affect future behavior, but a large and inconsistent literature means it is unclear whether, and under what conditions, mental simulation can change people’s behavior. A meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the effects of mental simulation on behavior and examine under what conditions mental simulation works best. An inclusive systematic database search identified 123 ( N = 5,685) effe…
Functions of spontaneous and voluntary future thinking
Imagining possible selves across time
The remembering–imagining system
Remembering and imagining are intricately related, particularly in imagining the future: episodic future thinking. It is proposed that remembering the recent past and imagining the near future take place in what we term the remembering–imagining system. The remembering–imagining system renders recently formed episodic memories and episodic imagined near-future events highly accessible. We suggest that this serves the purpose of integrating past, …
