The beliefs adults hold dear right now might not thrill their future selves.
A new study to be published in Science on Jan. 4 shows that while we may insist that we won't change our minds in the future, we're more likely to change than we think.
"It's hard to imagine ourselves in the future. That mistakenly causes us to think we won't change in the future," Daniel Gilbert, a professor in the department of psychology at Harvard University, said to HealthDay. "What our study shows is that people dramatically underestimate how different their future selves will be."
