Abstract
Socioemotional selectivity theory (SST) is a life-span theory of motivation grounded in the subjective awareness of human mortality. The cardinal postulate is that time horizons shape the relative priority placed on emotionally meaningful and knowledge-seeking goals. Because goals are always set in temporal contexts, and time left in life is inversely related to chronological age, SST predicts systematic age differences in goal pursuit. The theory has garnered considerable empirical support. In this paper, we consider the role of age-related time acceleration on goal setting and argue that it may interact with the more gradual age-related changes in time horizons presumed in SST. If so, the favoring of emotionally meaningful goals may follow an exponential (as opposed to linear) function across adulthood.
摘要
社会情绪选择理论（SST）是一种基于人类死亡意识的动机的生命周期理论。主要假设是时间范围决定了对情感意义和知识寻求目标的相对优先级。由于目标总是在时间背景下设定，并且生命中剩下的时间与年龄呈反比，因此 SST 预测了目标追求中的系统年龄差异。该理论得到了相当多的经验支持。在本文中，我们考虑了与年龄相关的时间加速对目标设定的作用，并认为它可能与 SST 中假设的更渐进的与年龄相关的时间范围变化相互作用。如果是这样，那么对情感意义目标的偏好可能会在成年期呈指数（而不是线性）函数变化。
