We investigated the contributions of familiarity of setting, self-relevance and self-projection in time to episodic future thinking. The role of familiarity of setting was assessed, in Experiment 1, by comparing episodic future thoughts to autobiographical future events supposed to occur in unfamiliar settings. The role of self-relevance was assessed, in Experiment 2, by comparing episodic future thoughts to future events involving familiar others. The role of self-projection in time was assessed, in both Experiments, by comparing episodic future thoughts to autobiographical events that were not temporal in nature. Results indicated that episodic future thoughts were more clearly represented than autobiographical future events occurring in unfamiliar setting and future events involving familiar others. Our results also revealed that episodic future thoughts were indistinguishable from autobiographical atemporal events with respect to both subjective and objective detail ratings. These results suggest that future and atemporal events are mentally represented in a similar way.
我们研究了场景熟悉度、自我相关性和自我投射在情节性未来思维中的作用。在实验 1 中，我们通过将情节性未来思维与假设发生在不熟悉场景中的自传体未来事件进行比较，来评估场景熟悉度的作用。在实验 2 中，我们通过将情节性未来思维与涉及熟悉他人的未来事件进行比较，来评估自我相关性的作用。在这两个实验中，我们通过将情节性未来思维与非时间性质的自传体事件进行比较，来评估时间上的自我投射的作用。结果表明，情节性未来思维比发生在不熟悉场景中的自传体未来事件和涉及熟悉他人的未来事件更清晰地呈现出来。我们的结果还表明，情节性未来思维在主观和客观细节评分方面与自传体非时间事件无法区分。这些结果表明，未来和非时间事件在心理上以类似的方式呈现。
