Future mindedness in psychology

Future-mindedness in psychology is the ability to thing about the future. It is also called prospection in psychological research.

See the entry for prospection, the psychological term for future-mindedness.

Research note:

"A pair of Kansas State University researchers found that people who tend to think in the long term are more likely to make positive decisions about their health, whether it's how much they drink, what they eat, or their decision to wear sunscreen."
