We then discuss future time perspective as a key component of self-regulatory processes in aging and position it within an uncertainty regulation framework. Especially in relation to future time perspective, we see endogenous uncertainty regulation at the center of intraindividual processes linked to individuals' aging experience. In the final part of our commentary, we employ our proposed model to exemplarily (re)interpret research that touches on the age-uncertainty relationship and discuss how researchers could further examine uncertainty regulation in relation to individuals' future time perspective. Studying the impact of such interventions would also allow to better understand the relationships between uncertainty regulation, future time perspective, and successful aging.	./cache/cord-033473-z79bt8hp.txt	./txt/cord-033473-z79bt8hp.txt
