Living in the past, the present, or the future can affect stress and health. Our group has shown that acute stress (cortisol reactivity) is modulated by time perspectives, the ways we psychologically relate to time. Here, we expand this research with a comprehensive measure of multi-systemic chronic stress (allostatic load). Among 204 healthy adults (60 men; 144 women), we examined whether time perspectives modulate allostatic load measured with 23 neuroendocrine, immune, metabolic, and cardiovascular biomarkers. Five time perspective categories were measured (past negative, past positive, present hedonistic, present fatalistic, future). Multiple regressions controlling for sex, age, and depressive symptoms were used. Increased present fatalistic time perspective was positively correlated with allostatic load, while future time perspective was negatively correlated with allostatic load. Our preliminary findings link time perspective to multisystemic chronic stress and are discussed in the context of potential clinical implications.

是时候承受长期压力了？适应不良的时间观点与静态负荷有关

生活在过去、现在或未来会影响压力和健康。我们的小组已经表明，急性压力（皮质醇反应性）受时间观点的调节，即我们在心理上与时间相关的方式。在这里，我们通过对多系统慢性压力（静态负荷）的综合测量来扩展这项研究。在 204 名健康成年人（60 名男性；144 名女性）中，我们检查了时间视角是否会调节用 23 种神经内分泌、免疫、代谢和心血管生物标志物测量的平衡负荷。测量了五个时间视角类别（过去消极、过去积极、现在享乐主义、现在宿命论、未来）。使用了控制性别、年龄和抑郁症状的多元回归。目前宿命论时间的增加与平衡负荷呈正相关，而未来的时间前景与静态负荷呈负相关。我们的初步发现将时间观点与多系统慢性压力联系起来，并在潜在临床意义的背景下进行了讨论。
