Slow Tempo

A sample of 69 young adults attending a public university responded to the Future Time Perspective Inventory, two subscales of the Time Experience Scales (Fast and Slow Tempo), and the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire in classroom settings. A statistically significant correlation (.52) was found between scores for future time perspective and the ratings for the practice of positive health behaviors in young adults. This correlation was larger than those previously found for middle and late adolescents. Scores on subscales of individual health practices and future time perspective indicated statistically significant correlations for five (.25 to .56) of the six subscales. Scores on neither Fast nor Slow Tempo were related to ratings of positive health practices or ratings on subscales measuring positive health practices.

Positive Health Practices

Samples of 84 middle and 106 late adolescents responded to the Future Time Perspective Inventory and the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire. Statistically significant positive but weak correlations (.20-.26) were found between length of future time perspective and the practice of positive health behaviors in both samples. Subscale analyses of individual health practices in relation to future time perspective yielded some statistically significant positive but weak correlations for both samples.

A sample of 139 young adolescents attending a middle school responded to the Future Time Perspective Inventory and the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire in classrooms. A statistically significant correlation of .46 was found between their scores on future time perspective and ratings for the practice of positive health behaviors. This correlation was larger than those previously reported for middle and late adolescents but smaller than that found for young adults.

Correlations among depression, optimism, and positive health practices were studied in young adolescents. A sample of 131 boys and girls, aged 12 to 14 ( M = 13.2, SD = .8) completed the Revised Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire, the Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression Scale, and the Life Orientation Test. A negative correlation (–.47) was found between scores on Depression and Positive Health Practices, and the correlation for scores on Optimism and Positive Health Practices was .52.

Positive Health Practices

A sample of 127 young adolescents attending a middle school responded to the Personal Lifestyle Questionnaire, measuring positive health practices, and two subscales of the Profile of Mood States, Vigor-Activity and Fatigue-Inertia. Correlational analysis indicated that higher scores on positive health practices were significantly associated with higher scores on Vigor-Activity ( r = .49), and lower scores on Fatigue-Inertia ( r = −.45).

Facet Design

Summary: Future-time perspective for adolescents and young adults is directed towards several objects and may extend into the far or the near future. Differences in this perspective can affect motivational qualities influencing investment in one's future. A future-time perspective questionnaire was developed along these lines using facet design. It contains an object facet with the elements school and professional career, personal development, social relations, and leisure time; and an extension facet in which the elements short-term and long-term were distinguished. This study aims at empirically confirming the facet structure of the questionnaire in a sample of young adults. The questionnaire was administered to the 1993 cohort of psychology students. In total, 517 students under 25 years of age completed the questionnaire. Empirical analysis of the facet design using confirmatory factor analysis required modeling the facet structure in terms of a block diagonal model. The well-known statistical problem of finding adequate starting values for the parameter estimates in the analysis of such models with factor complexity larger than one was resolved. The analysis resulted in the complete recovery of the facet structure. It was concluded, with some reservations, that the results seem to support the validity of the questionnaire.

The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS-T) and examine age-group differences in the predictors of respondents’ future time perspective. Data were collected from a sample of 202 young adults (aged 18–28 years) and 127 community-dwelling older adults (aged 60–86 years). The internal consistency and test–retest methods were employed to assess the reliability of the FTPS-T, and the FTPS-T’s validity was assessed using construct- and criterion-related validity. The reliability and validity analyses demonstrated that the FTPS-T had satisfactory psychometric properties. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the strongest predictor of future time perspective in young adults was subjective psychological health, whereas chronological and subjective (i.e., physical) ages were stronger predictors among older adults. These findings indicate that subjective variables shape the perceptions of a lifetime, and the results are discussed in the context of socioemotional selectivity theory.

The Relationship

This study constructed and tested models using the mediators of resilience and self-efficacy to help explain the relationship between social support and positive health practices (PHPs) in Black late adolescents. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used with a convenience sample of 179 Black college students, aged 18 to 23 years. Participants responded to four instruments; the five bivariate hypotheses were supported. Social support correlated positively with PHPs ( r = .45, p < .001), resilience ( r = .28, p < .001), and self-efficacy ( r = .40, p < .001). Resilience ( r = .31, p < .001) and self-efficacy ( r = .38, p < .001) correlated positively with PHPs. Regression analyses indicated that resilience and self-efficacy were partial, not complete mediators of the relationship between social support and PHPs. This research has relevance for practice involving Black late adolescents, with social support playing a role in promoting PHPs.
