Prospection refers broadly to the generation and evaluation of mental representations of possible futures. This ability fundamentally shapes human cognition, emotion, and motivation, and yet remains an understudied field of research, according to some psychologists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/learn/prospectivepsych )〕 For too long, say some psychologists, science has concentrated on how the past determines the present and the future; prospective psychology seeks to change this by moving prospection to the center of research on human action.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sites.sas.upenn.edu/prospection )〕 Martin Seligman played a leading role in starting the positive psychology movement, but noticed a deeper flaw in psychology: many psychologists seemed to portray humans as driven by the past. Thus, Seligman and others are leading an initiative on the study of prospective psychology, which is open to not only psychologists and neuroscientists, but also philosophers. Peter Railton, Roy F. Baumeister, and Chandra Sripada also lead the prospective psychology research movement.〔〔 However, not all psychologists agree with Seligman and his colleagues that prospection has been neglected in the past psychological literature. Prospection, in the form of anticipation, was a central part of George Kelly's personal construct theory, first published in 1955. ==See also== *Constructivism (psychological school) *Foresight (psychology) *Futures techniques *Goal setting 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prospection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
