Forgivingness,Forgiveness can either be considered as a contextualized psychological process of change with respect to a given transgressor and a given transgression or as a disposition (McCullough, Fincham, Brown, 2003) Moreover, forgiving individuals tend to score lower on neuroticism but higher on agreeableness (Steiner, Allemand, & McCullough, in press),1.1. Forgivingness,The primary function of forgivingness thus appears to be down-regulating and reducing these negative affective states and stressful reactions (Brown, 2003; Worthington & Scherer, 2004) Indeed, research has shown that forgiving individuals tend to show high levels of dispositional abilities to down-regulate negative affective states and to disengage from ruminative thoughts as compared to less forgiving individuals (Allemand, Job, Christen, & Keller, 2008).,1.2. The influence of future time perspective,how much time they believe have left open-ended or limited in duration,future time perspective,socioemotional selectivity theory (SST理论） suggests that the subjective perception of time remaining in life has important implications for the selection of goals, activities, and preferences (Carstensen,Isaacowitz, & Charles, 1999),1.2. The influence of future time perspective,limited,open-ended,pursuing information and knowledge-related social goals expand their horizons gain knowledge interested in seeking new social relationships,pursue emotion-focused goals. Maximization of meaningful activities in the present maintain emotional and social well-being keep close relationships while distancing from peripheral social partners,future time perspective,young,old,SST理论 priorities change,1.2. The influence of future time perspective,age is not the only factor that is related to future time perspective such as serious illnesses, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, wars, geographic relocations, or temporary time constraints such as college graduation and retirement can also influence the perception of time horizons. when younger individuals imagine conditions in which time is limited or they experience real-life time constraints they tend to optimize emotional outcomes and to pursue emotional satisfaction similar to older individuals who perceive their time horizon as shrinking (e.g., Carstensen Fung, Carstensen, & Lutz, 1999).,1.2. The influence of future time perspective,Numerous studies have provided empirical evidence for the notion that the perception of future time has important implications for emotion, cognition, motivation, and social relationships (for reviews, see Carstensen, Fung, Scheibe & Carstensen, 2010). - e.g., recent findings suggest that individuals who perceive their future time as open-ended tend to score higher on positive affect and meaning in life but lower on negative affect (Hicks, Trent, Davis, & King, in press),future time perspective,positive affect negative affect,1.2.
