对未来思考的思考

未来思考是前瞻性思考，旨在解决人生发展任务。人类的未来思考有多种类型。从是否具有现实性上来看，可以把未来思考分为两种主要形式：期望和幻想。幻想抑制动机和行为，但是，如果对幻想和不利现实因素进行心理对照，幻想就可以转变成执行性意图，这是因为心理对照过程能够产生美好未来和当前现实的同时通达。我们还探讨了习惯于不同自我监控思维模式的人对待时间、失败的人格差异，并提出了进一步的研究方向。

Thinking About the Future Thought

Future thought is prospective thinking that aims at solving the problem of life development. Human beings' future thoughts have various types. In view of realistic feasibility, thinking about the future can be differentiated between expectation and free fantasy. Positive fantasy suppresses motivation and action, but if fantasy is contrasted with reflections on the respective negative reality, it can be transformed into implementation intention. Then it can effectively promote motivation and action, because mental contrasting can create heightened simultaneous access of the desired future and the negative reality. We suggest that the people who are accustomed to different styles of self-regulatory thought deal with time and failure in different ways. We also propose the future direction of the study.
