Researchers have recently begun to examine motivational factors as moderators of the relationship between self-control and offending behavior. The current study extends prior work by investigating whether three aspects of future orientation (aspirations, expectations, and the use of future-oriented cognitive and behavioral strategies) play such a role. Drawing on 7 years of data from the Pathways to Desistance study (N = 1,333), we use hybrid effects negative binomial regression models to assess how within-individual changes in future orientation and impulse control are independently and jointly related to the offending variety of serious young offenders. Although impulse control and three components of future orientation had significant main effects on offending, no interaction between these components emerged in our results. Implications for future research are discussed.

未来取向是否会缓和冲动控制与犯罪之间的关系？从严重的年轻罪犯样本中得出的见解

研究人员最近开始研究动机因素，作为自我控制与犯罪行为之间关系的调节者。本研究通过调查未来取向的三个方面（愿望，期望以及对未来取向的认知和行为策略的使用）是否发挥了这种作用，扩展了先前的工作。利用来自“通往疾病的途径”研究的7年数据（N = 1,333），我们使用混合效应负二项式回归模型评估了未来取向和冲动控制的个体内部变化如何独立地和共同地与严重的犯罪种类相关联。少年犯。尽管冲动控制和未来取向的三个组成部分对犯罪有重大影响，但在我们的结果中并未出现这些组成部分之间的相互作用。
