Use Of Time

The aim in this study was to identify the time orientation of firefighters. The sample consisted of 71 firefighters (Mage = 35.1 years, SD = 4.8) and 66 social workers, representing a group working in a low-risk environment (Mage = 33.2 years, SD = 5.9). The participants completed the Temporal Orientation Questionnaire AION-2000. It was found that, in comparison to the control group, firefighters scored higher on future-time perspective and the temporal competences of telic dominance, degree of detail, and use of time.

Negative Outcome

Self-handicapping motivation refers to the likelihood a person will project personal ambition into the future, make a pessimistic judgement, and then mobilise effort in the present to avoid an anticipated negative outcome. It should, therefore, be a correlate of future time perspective. This study showed for a sample of 120 first-year students that, whilst future time perspective did strongly predict scores on a measure of self-handicapping motivation, neither variable was a useful predictor of outcome.

It was hypothesized that underachieving readers would differ from normal readers on a score reflecting time orientation in terms of future time perspective. As expected, normal readers projected into the future to a significantly greater degree than poor readers.

Paired Samples

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of a future time perspective (FTP)-based career intervention on career decisions. The career intervention consisted of three sessions based on three factors of FTP: opportunity, value, and connectedness. The study was performed with 41 college students who were randomly assigned to the intervention group ( N = 21) and the control group ( N = 20). The intervention group showed higher levels of FTP, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career search self-efficacy at the posttest compared to the corresponding results of the control group. Furthermore, the results of a paired-samples t test showed that the effects of the career intervention were maintained at a 4-week follow-up. Lastly, the theoretical and practical implications of the study were discussed.

Attitude Toward Death

To identify personality factors, personal values, time perspective, and attitude toward death of 53 Polish skydivers ( M age = 28.4 yr., SD = 9.8) and 59 low-risk sport athletes (controls, M age = 27.3 yr., SD = 5.3), several scales were used. These were the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire, Schwartz's Value Survey, the Present and Future Time Perspective Questionnaire, and Death Attitude Questionnaire. It was found that skydivers scored higher on Impulsive Sensation Seeking, Hedonism, Stimulation, and Self-direction values, concentration on the present, preferring a fast death, and belief about controlling death in comparison to the control group. Skydivers also scored lower on Tradition, Universalism, and Benevolence values in comparison to the control group.

The present study aimed at exploring time perspective in relation to psychological wellbeing among 90 subjects belonging to 3 different age categories. The time perspective questionnaire ( Zimbardo & Boyd ,1999 ) and psychological wellbeing questionnaire ( Bhogle et al, 1995) were administered to a sample of 90 ( 30- Adolescence, 30-Middle Age and 30-Old Age). Data were analyzed with the help of one – way ANOVA and correlation. The results indicated significant differences across 3 age levels in past negative and future areas of time perspective. In past negative area of time perspective the older generation has obtained significantly higher mean than the other two age groups. In future time perspective the younger generation has obtained significantly higher mean. The result also found no significant corelationship between time perspective and wellbeing.

The Future

Abstract. Future time perspective (FTP) refers to an individual’s global perception of the future. It has been found to be positively related to life satisfaction. FTP is traditionally assessed via self-report, but recently a few studies have used observable behaviors for assessing FTP. We focused on two real-life behaviors (frequency and qualities of talking about the personal future) and explored whether they could be used as behavior-based measures of FTP. We examined the association between these behaviors and self-reported FTP, and their relationships with life satisfaction. The sample included 55 young (aged 18–31) and 47 older adults (aged 62–83) who completed questionnaires on future time perspective and life satisfaction. Over 4 days, participants carried an electronically activated recorder, which randomly captured 30-second sound snippets from their daily lives – a total of 30,656 sound snippets were collected. Participants’ utterances were coded for temporal orientation. Linguistic inquiry word count was used to analyze the qualities of future-oriented utterances. Structural equation models showed that self-reported FTP was not associated with the two real-life behaviors. It was positively associated with life satisfaction for the whole sample. The frequency of future-oriented utterances and family-related words were positively related to young adults’ life satisfaction. Achievement-related words were positively related to older adults’ life satisfaction.
