不同说话者换行即可~Life is a process of growing and changing, and what our results suggest is that growth and change really never stops, despite the fact that at every age from 18 to 68, we think it's pretty much come to a close.
Now, Gilbert says personality changes do take place faster when people are younger.
A person who says I've changed more in the past decade than I expect to change in the future is not wrong. They are correct.
But that doesn't mean they fully understand what's still to come.
Their estimates of how much they'll change in the future are underestimates. They're going to change more than they realize. Change does slow, it just doesn't slow as much as we think it will.
The studies are reported in the journal Science, and it impressed Nicholas Epley, a psychology researcher at the University of Chicago.
And I think the finding that comes out of it is a really fundamentally interesting one, and in some ways, a really ironic one as well.
He says everyone seemed to remember change in the past just fine.
What was bad, though, was what they predicted for the future.
He says if you want to know what your next ten years will be like, it's probably good to look at what your past ten years were like, even though we seem to not want to do that. Nell Greenfieldboyce, NPR News.
