During the COVID-19 pandemic, young adults worldwide showed signs of distress as they were affected in their specific developmental tasks, including the construction of personal and professional futures.
The present study aimed to assess the situational future time perspective of Italian university students during the second pandemic wave, as measured by an constructed instrument, to explore its interaction with some dispositional traits relevant in future construction, such as optimism, sense of life, aggression, and dispositional future time perspective, and to test their effect on psychological well-being. The total sample consisted of 389 subjects (18-35 years, = 23.5, = 4.4).
The results indicated that the pandemic experience, assessed by surveying specific indicators, negatively affected the future time perspective of students, particularly those dispositionally optimistic and convinced that life has meaning. However, awareness of the negative impact that the pandemic brought to the vision of the future seems to have dampened the levels of depression and stress, while anxiety was found to be related only to dispositional traits. The results also suggested the need for educational and economic policies that help young adults develop confidence in the future and in their ability to build it.
在新冠疫情期间，世界各地的年轻人在其特定的发展任务中表现出困扰迹象，这些任务包括个人和职业未来的构建。
本研究旨在评估意大利大学生在疫情第二波期间的情境未来时间观，通过一种自编工具进行测量，以探讨其与未来构建中一些相关的特质（如乐观主义、生活意义感、攻击性和特质未来时间观）的相互作用，并测试它们对心理健康的影响。总样本包括389名受试者（年龄在18 - 35岁之间，平均年龄 = 23.5岁，标准差 = 4.4）。
结果表明，通过调查特定指标评估的疫情经历对学生的未来时间观产生了负面影响，尤其是那些特质乐观且坚信生活有意义的学生。然而，意识到疫情给未来愿景带来的负面影响似乎减轻了抑郁和压力水平，而焦虑仅与特质有关。结果还表明需要教育和经济政策来帮助年轻人对未来以及他们构建未来的能力建立信心。
