We often think about the future because we always live in the future. However, the future we imagine might not become a reality. What are the factors promoting the motivation to make our imagined futures real? These factors could include motivations for ideals, goals, acquisitions, transformations, growth, self-control, inheritance, and maintenance, among others. Do these motivations for the future give us what we desire? In the last few decades, research on motivation for the future has increased, and many theories (principles) have been proposed to improve people's motivation for the future. This special issue aims to introduce recent empirical and theoretical developments in psychological research on motivation for the future. In this special issue, we welcome not only empirical studies, but also various types of studies, including meta-analyses and reviews, on motivation for the future. We wish to promote the research on the motivation for the future by integrating and interpreting past research.
