This study examined the future perceptions of Israeli and Hong Kong young adults focusing on three aspects: (a) time horizon (how far into the future participants envision), (b) future life roles on which they focus, and (c) emotions towards their perceived future. Twenty students took part in semi-structured interviews. Israeli participants reported a narrower range of time horizon. Both samples mentioned four domains when envisioning their future: work, relationships, education, and leisure. Both Israeli and Hong Kong participants were similar in their emotions towards their perceived future, although Israeli participants were overall more positive. Research and practice implications are discussed.
