Aware of the Future? Adaptation and Refinement of the Futures Consciousness Scale
<p> <strong>Abstract.</strong>Introduction:<span> Futures consciousness (FC) refers to the capacity that a person has for understanding, anticipating, and preparing for the future. A psychometric instrument, the FC scale, was recently developed to measure FC as an interindividual difference. However, this initial scale suffered from some shortcomings due to a few underperforming items. </span>Objectives:<span> In this paper, we present and validate the revised FC scale, which aims to address these shortcomings. </span>Methods and Results:<span> Data from a representative sample of </span>N<span> = 1,684 British participants demonstrated good psychometric properties of the revised scale (and better than the original) as well as good predictive validity. Specifically, individuals' scores were positively related to self-reported future-oriented behavior, such as engagement in civic collective action and general engagement in politics.
