Orientation towards future events or outcomes is an important feature of individuals' thoughts and behaviors. To explore the adolescents' personal planning and attitude towards future, 1995 Chinese adolescents from six regular senior high schools and six secondary vocational schools were employed to complete the Chinese Version of Future Orientation Questionnaire. The main findings were as follows: Regular senior high school students reported more commitment concerning future education and more optimism about future education and occupation than secondary vocational school students; moreover, regular senior high school students in urban areas reported more exploration concerning future education and less commitment related to marriage/family than urban secondary vocational school students, while regular senior high school students in rural areas showed less exploration and commitment concerning future occupation than rural secondary vocational school students; rural adolescents reported higher levels of commitment concerning future occupation and marriage/family and they were also more optimistic about future education than urban adolescents did ; females reported higher levels of commitment to future education than males, while males reported higher levels of exploration and commitment than females; furthermore, rural males showed more optimism concerning future marriage/family than rural females.
