    Planning for the future 1,152 5.85* .04 1,152 4.56* .03
    Acquiring knowledge 1,152 1.95 .01 1,152 0.15 .00
    Spending time with more distant others 1,152 1.40 .01 1,152 1.65 .01
Ratio of goal limited to expansive time perspective 1,152 7.10** .05 1,152 6.87* .04

Note. Although age was covaried in all analyses, it was not a significant predictor of any goal time perspective score, and results are not shown. Similarly, in no case was the Group × Marital Status interaction significant, and results are not shown.
