未来取向应对、工作记忆及未来思考

本研究旨在通过探索工作记忆对于未来取向应对、前瞻记忆和未来思考的预测能力，探究未来取向应对同认知活动的关系以及工作记忆的预测机制。91名北京大学本科生及研究生作为被试，结果表明，未来应对取向同工作记忆、前瞻记忆和未来思考之间存在显著相关，同时工作记忆并不能直接预测前瞻记忆和未来思考的表现，而需要通过未来取向应对的中介作用才能够产生影响。这个结果说明对于某些认知能力，工作记忆可能并不是直接作用，而是通过复杂的机制产生作用的。同时也表明，测量认知活动方法的类型可能对结果产生不同的影响。本研究为进一步探究工作记忆的预测能力提供了证据，并为继续探索未来取向应对同时间知觉及工作记忆的关系打下基础。

Future-Oriented Coping,Working Memory and Future Thinking

This research is aimed at exploring the relation among future-oriented coping, working memory, prospective memory and future thinking and explore the structure of them.Data from 91 undergraduate and graduate students of Peking University showed that working memory, prospective memory and future thinking did relate to future-oriented coping and working memory did not predict the performance of prospective mem-ory and future thinking directly but through the mediating of future-oriented coping.The results suggests that working memory may act on some cognitive capacities via complex mechanism.At the same time, the types of tasks may have different effect on the abilities they measure.This research is new in its attempt to further ex-plore the mechanism of the predictive ability of working memory and the relation between future-oriented cop-ing and cognitive capacities including time perception and working memory.
