possible selves across the life span
contributed by dr. hazel markus and susan cross

overview

do you ever hope that you will become successful in your chosen career? do you ever fear that you will lose a loved-one? what effects do these hopes and fears about the future have on our current personality and the decisions we make? possible selves, which includes these hopes and fears, are a fascinating area of self-knowledge. they consist of what people think they will become, what people want to become, and what people fear they will become. it has been found that possible selves have a profound effect on how we act, in that we try to become like the positive possible selves, and to avoid becoming like the negative possible selves.
this project asked participants to fill out various measures, including a possible selves questionnaire, a self-esteem questionnaire, and a life satisfaction questionnaire, in an attempt to study possible selves. because the participants varied in age across the life span, it was hoped that this project would reveal differences among the various stages of life in the types of possible selves that participants listed.
