ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to examine the psychological effects of future-oriented personal statement writing among college students and to explore its potential as a therapeutic intervention. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted with college students who participated in a future-oriented writing task, in which they composed personal statements from a projected time frame of five to ten years ahead. Results: Engagement in future-oriented writing facilitated cognitive reframing, allowing participants to reinterpret present anxiety and perceived deficiencies as transitional states, thereby en-hancing a sense of continuity and possibility in their life narratives. Conclusion: Future-oriented personal statement writing may serve as a meaningful psychological inter-vention for college students by reducing anxiety and promoting positive developmental perspectives. Key words Future-oriented personal statement writing, Psychological healing, College students, Tem-poral distancing, Prospective thinking, Self-growth, Narrative identity
