Abstract: Based on a longitudinal design, 935 adolescents of Grades 8 and 10 from Shandong province were recruited to explore the relationship between family socioeconomic status and adolescents' future planning, and also test the moderating effects by extroversion on the link between family socioeconomic status and future planning for boys and girls. Results indicated that family socioeconomic status positively predicted adolescents' educational planning at Time 1 and Time 2 and occupational planning at Time 1. Extroversion positively predicted adolescents' educational planning and occupational planning at Time 1. In addition, extroversion moderated the link between family socioeconomic status and adolescents' educational planning, and there were significant gender differences in the moderating effect, while no moderating effect was observed between family socioeconomic status and adolescents' occupational planning. The results demonstrated that extroversion can not only protect adolescents' future planning directly but also buffer the negative influence of low family socioeconomic status, but the buffering effect is different for boys and girls and also different in domains of future planning.

Key words: adolescents, family socioeconomic status, extroversion, future planning
