well-being(McCullough,2000;Toussaint Orth,Berking,Walker,Meier,&Znoj,2008).,1.Introduction,subjectivewell-being,forgiveness,forgiveness,subjective well-being.,future time perspective,+,1.1.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 leftopen-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

related to future time perspectivesuch 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.The influence of future time perspective,More important,studies have consistently demonstrated the moderating role of future time perspective(Carstensen et al.,1999;Charles&Carstensen,2010).-e.g.Hicks et al.(in press)found that positive affect becomes increasingly associated with meaning in life as the perception of future time becomes limited-e.g.prioritizing emotionally meaningful goals is associated with greater social well-being and less social strain when future time is perceived as limited,whereas no such association seems to be present when individuals perceive their future time as open-ended(Lang&Carstensen,2002),future time perspective对well-being的调节作用,1.2.The influence of future time perspective,future time perspective forgiveness.-e.g.,Allemand(2008)found that individuals are more willing to forgive violations of social expectations when they perceive their own remaining time or the remaining time with their social partner as limited.-e.g.Cheng and Yim(2008)demonstrated that individuals are more forgiving under a limited time condition as compared to a time-expanded or neutral condition.Forgiveness may play an important role for individuals wellbeing,in particular when they view their time horizon as limited.-e.g.By forgiving,individuals may regulate their negative feelings and thoughts and let go the conflict,sustaining favorable relationships without getting resentful(cf.Fingerman&Charles,2010).,1.3.The present study,First,we expected positive associations between perceived open-ended future time and indicators of positive subjective well-being and negative associations with indicators of negative well-being(Hicks et al.,in press)Second,we tested the moderation hypothesis.we predicted that forgivingness and positive affect,life satisfaction,and optimism would be more strongly related when time is perceived as limited as compared to perceived open-ended future time.,2.1.Participants,2.1.Participants and procedure,Due to protection of privacy the procedure the deletion of all postal addresses after sending the package to prospective participants.Consequently,we were not able to remind participants to fill out the questionnaire.In light of this fact the response rate of 24%is notable.All participants were unpaid volunteers.,Why response rate is 24%?,2.1.Participants and procedure,N=4026mean age-M=50.0,SD=17.6 women-51.3%,N=962mean

well-being.Future time perspective did not moderate the associations between forgivingness and negative affect and pessimism,We evidenced that forgivingness was more strongly related to indicators of positive subjective well-being for individuals who perceive their time horizons as limited.The results thus suggest that the level of forgivingness is particularly important for positive subjective well-being when future time is perceived as limited,4.2.Limitations and outlook-limitation:,First,a causal influence of forgivingness on subjective well-being-forgivingness buffers the negative effects of perceived limited time on positive well-being.(longitudinal designs to replicate the present findings)Second,findings were based on self-reports-socially desirable-FTP is subjective phenomenon,the self-report seems to be an adequate way to measure how individuals view their future the order,possible primingFinally,the sizes of interactions between forgivingness and future time perspective were small.,4.2.Limitations and outlook-outlook:,test the moderation hypothesis of future time perspective with respect to other conceptualizations of subjective well-being-e.g.psychological well-beingtest the moderating hypothesis with respect to classical transgression-level conceptions of forgivenessFinally,future studies may test the moderating role of future time perspective with respect to other socioemotional traits and variables.-e.g.social support,Thank you!,
