Abstract

The present study tested the hypothesis that perceptions of change over time would be different depending on time frame. More specifically, it was predicted and confirmed that people would perceive more change in personality (Study 1) and physical appearance (Study 2) when the change was presented in retrospective frame than in prospective frame. In both studies, the probability that the past would be like the present was significantly higher than the probability that the future would be like the present. Implications and future research were discussed.
