Throughout adolescence, youth imagine what the future holds and determine plans to achieve their educational, professional, and personal goals. In this article, we review research that explores how adolescents' future orientations were shaped by the societal unpredictability, physical and mental health risks, and educational disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings show that the pandemic, which exacerbated existing societal inequities, also heightened adolescents' social awareness, provoked feelings of uncertainty, and altered adolescents' short- and long-term plans for educational and career prospects. Throughout school building closures and program cancellations, families played a greater role in fostering adolescents' plans. With prospects for more societal uncertainty on the horizon, future directions point toward supporting adolescents in developing adaptable and flexible future orientations.
在整个青春期，年轻人想象未来会是什么样子，并制定计划来实现他们的教育、职业和个人目标。在本文中，我们回顾了研究，探讨了青少年的未来取向是如何受到 COVID-19 大流行带来的社会不可预测性、身心健康风险和教育中断的影响的。研究结果表明，这场加剧了现有社会不平等现象的大流行，也提高了青少年的社会意识，引发了他们的不确定性感，并改变了青少年对教育和职业前景的短期和长期计划。在学校关闭和项目取消期间，家庭在培养青少年的计划方面发挥了更大的作用。随着社会不确定性的前景更加不确定，未来的方向指向支持青少年培养适应性和灵活性的未来取向。
