How can I talk about future plans while letting my teenager develop their own reasons?

This study examines supported self-direction in relation to thinking ahead and making meaning. It offers questions for discussing future plans without presuming a causal effect.

Who was studied?

707 students from one high school in Guizhou, China.

Age / stage: 15–18 years

Read with three questions

  1. How was future-oriented coping defined?
  2. What associations involved future time perspective and meaning in life?
  3. What alternative causal directions could a longitudinal study examine?

Keep the limits in view

A single-school, cross-sectional questionnaire study cannot establish causal order or an effective parenting intervention.
