- Abstract
Objective: Across three experiments (N = 622), we investigated the effect of the future temporal perspective on wise reasoning within the context of interpersonal conflicts. Method: Studies 1 and 2 applied two heterogeneous measurements of wise reasoning: self‐report and open‐ended measurements. Participants reasoned about their recent interpersonal conflicts from a future (i.e., 1 year from now) or a present perspective. Similarly, Study 3 tested the relationship between various future temporal distances (i.e., 1 week, 1 year, 10 years, 30 years from now) and wise reasoning. Results: The future temporal perspective significantly promoted wise reasoning compared to the present perspective, especially when the focus was 30 years in the future. Moreover, reasoning about a conflict event from a future perspective first might cause a carry‐over effect on reasoning from the present perspective later. Conclusion: Future‐oriented temporal perspective significantly improves wise reasoning.
