Predictor	Goal limited time perspective	Ratio of goal limited to expansive time perspective	Goal expansive time perspective
PTGI at study entry (β)	0.75^***	0.76^***	0.78^***
Age (β)	−0.18^*	−0.18^*	−0.20^**
Months since diagnosis of metastatic disease (β)	−0.02	−0.04	−0.03
Number of comorbid medical conditions (β)	0.00	−0.00	0.02
Years of education (β)	−0.04	−0.03	−0.02
Marital status (β)	−0.12	−0.09	−0.09
Goal time perspective (β)	−0.05	0.10	−0.17^*
ΔR² Goal time perspective	.00	.01	0.03^*
R² model	.60^***	.61^***	0.63^***
df model	7,83	7,83	7,83
F model	20.61^***	21.31^***	22.96^***

Note. Column heading indicates which specific goal time perspective score (limited time perspective, expansive time perspective, or ratio of limited to expansive time perspective) was used in the analysis.
