As a measure of time perspective, a variation of the life graph was administered to 47 men and 47 women ranging from 24 to 60 years old. Age was found to relate to past temporal dominance. In life drawings, events depicted as markers had no relationship to age. (Author/ABL)

Furstenberg, Anne-Linda – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2002
The model of aging that people construct influences interpretations of and responses to actual situations when they occur, as well as preparatory actions that people take. Thus the question of what people foresee for themselves and the process by which they construct and revise this subjective aging trajectory has implications for such issues as…
