Kara, Demet; Bohn, Annette The present study investigated whether remembering the distant versus the recent personal past influences self-continuity levels and expected future event characteristics in a sample of immigrants. Seventy-three Turkish immigrants living in Denmark participated in three sessions involving questionnaires and life story interviews. In the first session, participants completed baseline measures of self-continuity, psychological wellbeing, acculturation, and demographics. In the second and third sessions, they recalled significant events and narrated life stories from pre-migration (distant past) and post-migration (recent past), followed by measures of self-continuity and wellbeing. After each memory recall, participants described three expected future events and rated them on phenomenological characteristics such as vividness and emotional valence. We analyzed differences in self-continuity and future event characteristics between the pre- and post-migration conditions, as well as the relationships among the variables, thematic content of future events, and their resemblance to cultural life scripts. Results revealed no significant differences in future event characteristics between the conditions. However, a small difference emerged in self-continuity levels: contrary to expectations, participants reported slightly higher self-continuity in the pre-migration condition than in the post-migration condition. These findings contribute to understanding of how autobiographical memory relate to future thinking and self in the context of migration.

Objective This study investigates the impact of early rearing environment and child temperament on the development of the ToM by evaluating children under the care of social services at three different time points. Methods This study included 112 children from institutions, 60 from care villages, 62 from group homes, and 51 from foster care. These children were tested at three time points with 8-month intervals. The age range of the children was 23–62 months at the first time point and 40–78 months at the third. Frustration and perceptual sensitivity as child temperamental characteristics were assessed with the Early Child Behavior Questionnaire and the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire, while ToM was evaluated with a ToM task battery.Hierarchical linear modeling was performed to test the growth rate of ToM. Results A three-way interaction (Frustration × Care Type×Time) revealed that children’s ToM understandings significantly improved over time across most conditions for children with high frustration in both group homes and institutions as well as for children with low frustration in institutions. However, children with low frustration in group homes did not show significant improvement, emphasizing the potential protective role of frustration in institutional settings. Conclusions This study demonstrates the importance of child characteristics and early rearing environment on the development of the ToM over time.
