The article concerns people engaged in hiking in the mountains as being the representatives of positive risk behaviour (PRB) (activities accepted by the members of society). The aim of the research is to determine whether people involved in hiking display significantly more risk behaviour, both positive and negative (NRB) and whether they perceive time in a different way. In the research participants were recruited and questionnaires were applied via the Internet. The analysis confirmed the hypothesis that hikers are characterised by a greater risk propensity and a greater number of activities recognised as PRB, but not NRB. Surprisingly no differences between future time perspective orientation were found. Moreover, people hiking in the mountains are characterised by higher measures of present hedonistic time perspective and lower past negative time perspective. Average value of DBTP is lower among them, which stands for a more balanced time perception orientation. Past negative time perspective is most strongly correlated with a balanced time perspective. Strong positive correlations between risk propensity and PRB were found. A negative correlation was observed between future time perspective and NRB, but not PRB. It is important to note that the correlation between present hedonistic time perspective and frequency of PRB activities was found only among mountain tourists. Further research could concentrate on the analysis of other specific groups and further exploration of hikers’ community concerning their personality and identity structures, cognitive styles, profits obtained from being a member of a group and engaging in sport.

The aim of this study is to examine the future time perception levels and time management behaviours of students studying in the Faculties of Sports Sciences in accordance with certain variables. In line with this aim, students (n=747) of the departments of Sport Management, Coaching Training, Physical Education and Sports Teaching and Recreation Expertise in Gazi, Selçuk and Muğla Universities participated voluntarily in the study. Socio-demographic information form, Future Time Perspective Scale developed by Husman and Shell (1996) and Time Management Behaviour Scale developed by Britton and Tesser (1991) were applied on the participants. The data obtained from these tools were recorded through the package program called “IBM SPSS 22”. For the statistical analyses, Independent Sample t test was used for comparison by sexes while One Way Anova Test was used for comparisons by age, university and department.As a conclusion, it was determined that future time perception is related to the variable of department while time management behaviour is associated with the variables of sex, age, university and department. This finding is thought to result from the self-realization levels of the students studying in the faculties of sport sciences, differences in theory and practice courses they receive, commitment of the students to their responsibilities, sociological structure of the internal and external environments in which the students live and the differences in the opportunities that the students encounter. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Spor Bilimleri Fakültelerinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin gelecek zaman algı düzeyleri ile zaman yönetimi davranışlarının bazı değişkenlere göre incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Gazi, Selçuk ve Muğla Üniversitelerinde yer alan Spor Bilimleri Fakülteleri içerindeki, Spor Yöneticiliği, Antrenörlük Eğitimi,  Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Öğretmenliği ve Rekreasyon Uzmanlığı bölümlerinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler (n=747) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılara sosyo-demografik bilgi formu, Husman ve Shell (1996) tarafından geliştirilen Gelecek Zaman Algısı Ölçeği ve Britton ve Tesser (1991) tarafından geliştirilen Zaman Yönetimi Davranışı Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler "IBM SPSS 22" adlı paket program ile kayıt edilmiştir. İstatistikî işlem olarak cinsiyetlerine göre karşılaştırmada Bağımsız Örneklem t testi, yaş, üniversite ve bölümlere göre karşılaştırmada ise Oneway Anova Test istatistiği uygulanmıştır.Sonuç olarak: Gelecek zaman algısının bölüm değişkeni ile zaman yönetimi davranışının ise cinsiyet, yaş, üniversite ve bölüm değişkenleri ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durumun Spor Bilimleri Fakülteleri'nde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin kendilerini gerçekleştirme düzeyleri, almış oldukları teorik ve uygulama derslerinin farklılığı, öğrencilerin sorumluluklarına olan bağlılığı, yaşanılan iç ve dış çevreninin sosyolojik yapısı ve karşılaşılan fırsatların farklılığından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.

The aim of this study was to explore possible synergies between research on motivational interference and time perspectives. A conceptual model relating individual differences in time perspectives to motivational interference during studying and leisure and academic achievement was tested. Filipino college students (N = 385) participated in the study. Results from the path analysis indicated that future time perspective was positively associated with motivational interference during leisure and negatively associated with motivational interference during studying. Moreover, future time perspective also positively predicted academic achievement. Present fatalistic and past negative time perspectives were positively associated with motivational interference during studying. Present hedonistic time perspective negatively predicted motivational interference during leisure. Motivational interference during studying, in turn, was negatively associated with academic achievement. Implications are discussed.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between time perspective, hope and self-regulation among foundation year students at a Malaysian public university. A survey questionnaire on the three constructs was completed by 118 Malay students aged between 18 to 21. The findings showed a significant positive correlation between the future time perspective and self-regulation (r = 0.251, p = 0.007). However, the association is a weak one. Likewise, a significant relationship was found between hope and two of the temporal orientations, i.e., the future orientation (r = 0.399, p = 0.001) and the past positive at r = 0.271, p = 0.003., which is also considered a weak relationship. However, no significant association was observed between the past positive time perspective and students’ self-regulation. On the contrary, the past negative and present-fatalistic time orientations have a significant negative relation with hope at r = - 0.308, p = 0.001 and r = - 0.207, p = 0.028, respectively. A similar result was obtained for the association between self-regulation and the PN orientation at r = - 0.290, p = 0.002. It was also found that hope and students’ self-regulation are strongly correlated (r = 0.268, p = 0.004). In essence, the results imply that students with a high future time orientation are likely to have high levels of hope and self-regulation. Therefore, time perspective, especially the future orientation, and self-regulation skills could be important intervention factors for addressing students’ academic obstacles. The findings of this study are beneficial for counselors, educators, and supervisors in designing intervention programs to help students become more positive and optimistic individuals.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the influence of future and past negative time perspectives on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The effect of national culture (Mexico versus the USA) as a moderator of the above baseline relationships is also analyzed. Design/methodology/approach The research model is tested using survey data drawn from a sample of 287 Mexican and 274 US MBA students (N = 561). Regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. Findings Future time perspective has a positive relationship with job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Past negative time perspective has a negative association with both job attitudes. The effect of future time perspective on job satisfaction was significantly stronger in Mexico than in the USA. No other significant differences between the countries were found in terms of the time perspective and job attitudes association. Practical implications The results have implications for managing dispositions that affect work-related attitudes and behaviors with consequences for organizational effectiveness. Originality/value The findings suggest that time perspective affects job attitudes. Further, they also suggest that the interplay between future time perspective and culture influences job satisfaction.

The Relationship

Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.
