摘要：Data from a study of 59 adolescent University students were correlated using Spearman rank-difference coefficient (rho) to assess the extent to which the future could be predicted from these measures. The 58 adolescents' score on the Satisfaction Questionnaire and Purpose-in-Life Test showed data significantly supporting the hypothesis and its relationship to goal directedness. Male southerners' and graduate study oriented groups supported the hypothesis while the opposite held for girls, northerners', and non-graduate-study orientation samples. The findings partially agree with the findings of previous studies especially those of Jenks, Kahana, Bobinski, and Piermarini.
