The semantic differential was used to value five earliest memories and five events anticipated in the future of 51 male and 37 female college students. It was expected, based on personality theories, that there would be a significant relationship between perceptions of early memories and future events. The results with this population revealed highly significant differences ( t = 10.51). Possible explanations for the unexpected findings were presented.
