How Japanese Youth Perceive the Future Hopes for the future

(Japanese Cabinet Office, 2014)

When I am 40 years old, I will be happy

●Japanese youth tend to see their future more negatively. ●How about past or present? Can we believe these results? 3 ➡Cross-cultural research with common scale is needed.


Time Attitude

â—?Time attitude consists of emotions and evaluative feelings toward the past, present, and future. â—?Time attitude is the most frequently studied of the time perspective constructs (Mello & Worrell, 2015; Nurmi, 1991; Seginer, 2008; Shipp et al., 2009; Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999).

Current Time Attitude Research in Japan ZTPI-J (Shimojima et al, 2012)

●The theorized five factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis after omitting 10 items. ●However, confirmatory factor analyses were less supportive. ●Alpha estimates for subscale scores from the 43-item version ranged from .65 to .76. Model

ZTPI-J has some issues with internal consistency and 5 structural validity.


Current Time Attitude Research in Japan

ZTPI-J (Shimojima et al, 2012)

●Sircova et al. (2014) undertook a 24-country study of the structural validity and invariance of ZTPI scores. ●However, the Japanese sample was removed from analysis because of bias in more than two items (see also Sircova et al., 2015). ➡Research on time attitudes in Japan requires a scale with reliable and valid scores. 6


The Adolescent Time Inventory-Time Attitudes (ATI-TA; Mello & Worrell, 2007; Worrell et al., 2013)

Features ●Alpha estimates have almost always exceeded .70. ●Structural validity analyses have supported the six-factor structure. Past Positive

Present Positive

Future Positive

Past Negative

Present Negative

Future Negative

●Strong relationships between scores on the Future Positive or Negative and other future-related variables (Worrell & Mello, 2009). ●ATI-TA scores had moderate correlations with self-esteem (|.36| to |.46|) (Andretta et al., 2014). 7


The Present Study

Purpose

●To develop a Japanese version of the ATI-TA with reliability and validity.

Hypotheses Internal ①Alpha and omega estimates would be .70 or higher. consistency Structural validity

②The 6-factor model would achieve acceptable fit.

③ATI-TA would be related to each TAS subscale. Convergent ④Only future positive/negative would be related to future-oriented variable. validity ⑤All six subscales would be related to self-esteem 8 scores with moderate correlations.

Participants ●Participants were recruited from three public high schools. ●The sample consisted of 382 Japanese adolescents (166 female [43.3%], 216 male) aged 15 to 18 years (Mage = 16.22 years, SD = 1.44). ●As previously found (Worrell & Mello, 2009), age and grade were not correlated significantly with any subscales (r = –.09 to .08, ns).

Procedure ●Participants completed the questionnaires anonymously from June to July of 2015. 10


ATI-TA

Measures (Appendix)

Translation and back-translation process (Brislin, 1986) ①A professional translator translated the ATI-TA into Japanese.

③Another professional translator translated those items into English.

②The three native Japanese checked the Japanese items. ・They corrected items to read more naturally. ④The authors who developed the original ATI-TA confirmed that the back-translated and original items had the same meaning. 11


TAS-J (Shirai, 1997)

Measures

・We chose the following 3 items for each time period because scores on the full Japanese version are not reliable. unpleasant–pleasant, unhappy–happy, and dark–light

Educational Career Planning (ECP; Sakayanagi, 1986) ●We assessed educational career planning as futureoriented variable (Sakayanagi, 1986). ●This ECP consists of 4 items.

Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale-J (RSES; Yamamoto et al, 1982)

・The RSES measures global self-esteem using 10 items.

Cross-cultural comparison

â—?Results showed Japanese tend to see their future more negatively. â—?We need to demonstrate structural and measurement equivalence among versions in other languages before discussing these results. 26


Japanese youth & society

Strong self-criticism

●The lowest of self-esteem in 53 nations is Japan (Schmitt & Allik, 2005). ●Rate of youths’ suicide in Japan is extremely higher than other developed countries (Maida, 2016). ➡Lack of future perspective might be main reason (Sato, 2015).

Social background ●Japanese society has been under economic depression for about 20 years. ➡Adolescents might feel difficult to make happier life course. We need to examine how we can help 27 Japanese adolescents have brighter future perspective.


Japanese youth & society

â—?Rate of youth suicide in Japan is so extremely higher than other developed countries (Maida, 2016).


Time attitude profile (Andretta, et al., 2014)

â—?Although attitudes toward specific time periods were not predictive of GPA, Positives and Pessimists differed on GPA with a moderate effect size. It would be useful to use a person-centered approach 29 to examine time-attitude profiles.


Current Time Attitude Research in Japan TAS-J (Shirai, 1997)

①Some items were omitted from the TAS-J due to low itemtotal correlations. ②TAS-J items include expressions that are difficult for adolescents to fully comprehend.

Experiential Time Perspective Scale (ETPS; Shirai, 1994) ●ETPS is originally Japanese, and used widely in Japan. ●It consists of 4 subscales. Acceptance of past

Self-fullness

Hopefulness Goal-directedness

➡However, it is not suitable for cross-cultural research 30 because its scores have not been validated in other countries.

3rd International Conference on Time Perspective

The relationship between time attitude and identity formation Ryo Ishii Nagoya University, JAPAN / Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Contact: nxt001@gmail.com) Pre-arranged Symposium “Time Attitudes Across Cultures: USA, Germany, and Japan� 09:50-11:10 (August 19th, 2016)


OUTLINE OF MY PRESENTATION

1. Brief Introduction 2.My Recent Investigation 3.Brief Conclusion


Introduction


Introduction Identity Erikson (1963, 1968) had conceptualized the primary psychosocial task of adolescence as one of finding an optimal balance between identity achievement and role confusion.


Introduction Time Perspective The totality of the individual’s views of his psychological future and psychological past existing at a given time (Lewin, 1951). ◆Tsuzuki (1994): Time perspective is the basis of identity formation.

Previous Research on Time Perspective and Identity

◆ Rappaport, Enrich, and Wilson (1985); Tsuzuki (1994); Shirai, Nakamura, and Katsuma (2012) ⇒ Future orientation and positive attitude toward time are related to achievement of identity.


Introduction Marcia (1966) proposed four identity statuses that are differentiated by the degree to which a person has explored and the degree to which a person has committed to a sense of self.


Introduction Transition of Research on Identity Most studies used Marcia (1966)’s status approach. ⇔ Status approach is focused on outcomes of identity development and does not explain how identity is formed and changed over time (Blasi & Glodis, 1995; van Hoof, 1999). The progress of study showed the status change from achievement to other (e.g. Stephen, Fraser, & Marcia, 1992). ⇒ Exploration of identity is repeated.

It is important to investigate identity from both process and product (Schwartz, 2007).


Introduction The Purpose of This Study To investigate the relationship between time attitude and adolescents’ identity formation, by focusing on both identity formation processes and products.


Introduction Identity theory This study was based on Dual-cycle model of identity formation (Luyckx, Goossens, & Soenens, 2006). The process of seeking alternatives

The process of deepening commitment

The dimension of commitment

Commitment making

Identification with commitment

The dimension of exploration

Exploration in breadth

Exploration in depth

Negative aspect

Ruminative exploration


Methods


Methods ď ŽProcedure Online questionnaire survey ď ŽParticipants 196 undergraduates (68 males, 128 females) (average age: 19.2 / age range: 18-26)


Methods ď ŽMeasurements Identity Measure DIDS-J (Nakama et al., 2014) was used. This scale is Japanese version of the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (Luyckx et al., 2008). (five-point scale) Subscales: Commitment making Identification with commitment Exploration in breadth Exploration in depth Ruminative exploration


Methods *Grouping. Cluster analysis using this measure can reveal individual identity status. The cluster structure showed in this study was the same as that in original study.

Results & Discussion  Among achievement, past positive is negatively related to exploration in depth.  Past negative is positively related to exploration in depth among carefree diffusion, however among moratorium, it is negatively related.  Among carefree diffusion and foreclosure, future negative is positively related to exploration in depth. ☞ Negative past and future may motivate carefree diffusion’s exploration in depth. But among moratorium, negative past may inhibit exploration in depth. And so positive past may inhibit achievement’s exploration in depth.

Results & Discussion ď ° Among carefree diffusion, negative attitudes toward past, present, and future is positively related to ruminative exploration. ď ° Among achievement, negative attitudes toward future is positively related to ruminative exploration. ☞ Time perspective is related to negative aspects of exploration only among carefree diffusion and achievement.


Conclusion


Conclusion Time Perspective and Identity formation ▥ Time perspective has different function to identity formation depending on adolescent’s identity status. ▥ Positivity and negativity of time attitude have different meanings on each identity formation process.


Limitation & Future Direction Limitation â–Ą Cross-sectional survey Present study could not reveal the subsequent influence of time perspective on future identity.

Future Direction â–Ą Longitudinal survey Time perspective and identity formation interact each other (Shirai, 2003).

Measuring Time Frequency • How often do you think about the past, the present, and future? • Response options – Almost Never, Seldom, Sometimes, Often, Almost Always

Mello, Z. R., Worrell, F. C., & Andretta, J. R. (2009). Variation in how frequently adolescents think about the past, the present, and the future in relation to academic achievement. Research on Child and Adolescent Development [Diskurs Kindheits- und Jugendforschung], 4, 173-183.


Time Meaning • How do you define the past, present, future? • Tremendous variation • “When I refer to the present, it’s today and like, like up to a day ago” (African American Female Aged 14). • “If you look at it very closely there is no present because it’s either something that’s happened beforehand or something that is going to happen” (European American Female Aged 16).

Theoretical Perspectives on Time Perspective and Culture


Theoretical Perspectives on Time Perspective and Culture

• Universal versus cultural-specific • Marginalization • Values


Measuring Time Attitudes Across Cultures

Frank C. Worrell Graduate School of Education University of California, Berkeley


Foundational Principles • Cross-cultural scale development is iterative and takes time. • ATI-TA subscales should be as similar as possible across countries. • Aiming for α > .70 for subscale scores, but recognizing that these fluctuate across samples. • Aiming for good fit (structural validity). • Interested in external validity and Time Attitude profiles across samples.

Adolescent Time Attitudes and Competitive Sports in a German Sample

3rd International Conference on Time Perspective


Copenhagen, August 19th, 2016

Introduction • Past, present, future: • high relevance for personal and identity-forming processes during adolescence (e.g., Erikson, 1966; Marcia, 1993; Secord & Peevers, 1974)

• especially attitudes toward the three time dimensions are related to several psychological constructs (e.g., Andretta , 2010; Lewin, 1942; Molinari et al., 2015)

• Physical activity: • one of the most important leisure time activities for adolescents (e.g., Grgic & Züchner, 2013)

• can enhance juvenile development and health (e.g., Diehl et al., 2014; Gerlach & Brettschneider, 2013)

Adolescent Time Attitudes and Competitive Sports in a German Sample

3rd International Conference on Time Perspective


Copenhagen, August 19th, 2016

Hypotheses • Previous studies showed a positive relationship between • competitive sports and a positive self (e.g., Heim, 2002; Eppinger, 2010)

• time perspective and physical activity (Konowalczyk, 2016)

• Focus of the present study: • evaluation of the relationship between time attitudes and competitive sports • how does high-performance sport predict adolescents' attitudes toward time?

• Hypotheses: • adolescent top-athletes have more positive attitudes toward the past, present, and future and thus • can be found more often in positive connoted time attitude profiles than non-athletes

Diversity of futures – future diversity: Imagining the Future in a New Country vs Living It: When Future Becomes Present and Past Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Schilling 19th August 2016 Celebrating Time: 3rd International Conference on Time Perspective København, Denmark


Research questions  Development of future drafts in the course of social integration: similarities and differences between ‚new‘ migrants, ‚old‘ migrants and ‚autochthonous‘ population

 Comparison of two studies (2003-05 Russian and German migrants and 2015-16 Syrian refugees in Germany and their gate-keepers with migration background)

2


Migrants‘ biographical dispositive: methodological framework Biographical future draft: • What is to happen? • When should it happen? • Which (side)effects should it have? Expression of the self-identity Often implicit

Source: Author’s compilation based on Bührmann (2012, p. 156). 3


Taxonomy of Future Concepts: Knowing, evaluating and creating future • Knowing • • •

Predictability of the future Ability to shape Strategies for shaping future

• Evaluating future • •

What is positive, what is negative? What is worth working on?

• Creating future •

Strategies for creating/ achieving a desirable future • Passivity and non-creating 05.09.06 4

4.

Abdo (21): Syrian refugee, 6 month in Germany Summary: Clear future vision: learning German, starting the studies of medicine, marriage, establishing his own practice Cognitions: Own need to know more „It is all structured in Germany. For example if I go to the job-centre the administrator explains me exactly what do I need and where and when I can get it. Everything is explained exactly. In Syria we do not wait, you just give money to somebody and it is done.“

Evaluating planning: Security is good, waiting is very frustrating; myth about rapid and timely West and slow Orient => sense of time structures „And future in Germany is waiting. You have to wait for everything, no matter what it is. For ages.“

Creating future: Dangerous escape way - identity giving (able, strong, mature), risking life as an investment into the future „I‘m sure, I can manage it, here in Germany it is easy-peasy, because everybody is equal. I only need to enter the University.“ 6


Bettina (32), lecturer, German origin, 2,5 years in Russia, ‘coming-back’ intention Summary No adjustment to the new culture of future planning, resistance. Structure and security through future creating. “You can foresee the future and avoid the unknown” Cognitions: Future planning as a tool of insecurity management “My Russian friends and colleagues persisted on no-planning. They said that their reality doesn’t allow them to plan like the Germans do. And this is what my Russia-experience has taught me. The more insecure the everyday situation, the more apparently chaotic the process, the more important it is for yourself to have your own plan according to which you can direct the things.” “It is a question, if you take the unknown future for really unknown. I think that you could foresee many things.”

Evaluating planning: Positive and emotional “Future is very important for me. Firstly I am very curious about what will happen. And I love dreaming, planning, thinking what I would like to do.”

Creating future: Adapting the surrounding to the own practices (powerful position) I always (...)made a structure for the next 3-4 weeks. And as in the beginning something changed, my program was ruined. And after some time it happened, 7 that I made my7 plan, and the others conformed to it.”


Elena (39), project manager, global player, Russian origin, since 8 years in Germany Summary A side observer. Future planning as a rescue and a ridiculous habit. No biographical planning as a reaction to manifold failed plans. “I am already accustomed. But I don’t like it.” Cognitions: Great differences between cultures, need to adapt “Once I talked to an old German lady. She was over 70. She said: “In four years there will be the football world cup [...]. I have to buy tickets.” And then she started to sort her priorities: “And this year I have to make a journey and…” And then she started to consider, what she needs and what she wants, it was self-evident for her. I was absolutely amazed. Even disregarding her age… We don’t plan so far, we have ‘will be... And how will be, what will be?’”

Evaluating Planning: Future planning is helpful but unpleasant “Planning helps me avoid time pressure. I can’t stand it, I go into hysterics, get nervous fits! It is awful! I am then in an awful stand.”

Creating future: Following the fate “I don’t plan further than 3 months. Maximum. Absolute maximum. Who knows, what will come then?!”

Svetlana (54): integration course teacher, over 20 years in Germany Born in Moldova, German teacher in an adult education center Summary: own biography – a story of impeded success, migrational background as a barrier for a successful career => expectation of impeded future Cognitions •

Biography (future/past) as an ethnical predestination

Hierarchie of origins

Evaluating planning • Own identity as a migrant: „I can only get a useless job“. • Scepticism towards the future plans of the newcomers •

Ambitious plans of newcomers as a threat for the own position

9


Svetlana (2) Creating future •

No teaching efforts, secondary activity as a wine trader

Discouraging counselling: „My students are older people, what do you want from them!“, „And I told her [younger student] that the study is very hard, unlikely... [that she could manage it] •

helping only those with a clear inferior position

Impeding ambitious plans of the newcomers

The impact on the life planning of the pupils •

Young, ambitious students get distance

Target group enthusiastic: „caring personality“, „pleasant atmosphere in the course“, „understanding person“. Perfect match

No language progress in the course, waiting for the the official age of retirement 10


Conclusions  A map of diverse future concepts corresponding with a map of geographical origins? Problematic: within-diversity and dynamics induce a bricolage of time perspectives  The own biographical story-telling and future draft depict the social position (status battles), socialization, personality, identity (comparison with others), and experiences (in the new enviroment)  Can we promote integration by ‚teaching a future perspective‘? Yes, probably we could, but who are the teachers and what are their interests? Experiences of success and self-efficacy

ALLOCATE TIME ACCORDING TO PERSONAL VALUES. I « feel more » (culture) because it has the best adequation with my values.


Celebrating Time Temporalities as Behavioral Determinants


From balanced time perspective to balanced time use: Exploring the links between time perspective and well-being

Ilona Boniwell, Evgeny Osin


Time perspective and well-being • ZTPI scales show different relationships with well-being: – Strong for PN (-), PF (-) – Moderate for PH (+) – Weak for PP (+), FU (+)

 Balanced TP

• Different potential mechanisms? – PN = rumination, PP = positive reminiscence – PH = savouring, PF = helplessness – Future = good / optimal time use?


What is ‘good’ time use? Is it… • …using time for activities that make us feel good / are good for us in the long term? • …harmony between our present activities and our overall life goals? • …a balance / variety of activities in life? • …having enough time for the important things we want to accomplish? • …efficient time use = not wasting time (does it mean we must manage our time?)


Preliminary Study (Boniwell, 2006) • Qualitative interviews with 21 participants satisfied or dissatisfied with their time use • Professionals from the UK, 9 women, 12 men, aged 26 to 60 (M=42.3) • Sample questions: – “How do you feel about your use of time?” – “What makes you really satisfied with the way you spend your time (on any particular day)?” – “How do you know that you are spending your time well?”

• Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)

Study 1 • Aim:

– initial validation of the Balanced Time Use Inventory.

• Sample: students (N=173), 35% male 65% female, aged 23 to 85 (M=42.37, SD=12.37), by mail. • Instruments:

– Balanced Time Use Inventory: 68 items generated based on qualitative interview findings (themes & formulations) – Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1984) – Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, Tellegen, 1988) – Sense of Coherence Scale (Antonovsky, 1987), 13-item version – Time use satisfaction: “Overall, I am satisfied with the way I use my time” (5-point scale)


Item selection • Exploratory factor analyses  selecting out 25 items with low communalities, resulting in 43 items • Using exploratory factor analyses and ESEM we established a 4-factor structure and chose 22 items with highest factor loadings and most clear and unambiguous meaning X2 (df), p ESEM, 43 items 1235.97 (737), p<.001 ESEM, 22 items 224.33 (149), p<.001 CFA, initial model 306.22 (203), p<.001 CFA, modified model 255.84 (201), p=.005 CFA, hierarchical model 275.80 (203), p<.001

• CFA showed acceptable fit, 2 error covariances  good fit • Single second-order factor


Balanced Time Use Inventory • Self-Congruent Time Use (7 items, α = .81) – “I like what I do” – “I feel I am making progress” – “I often feel that what I do is meaningless” (-)

• Balance of Activities (6 items, α = .86) – “I feel I have a balance of activities in my life” – “I am comfortable with the work-life boundaries in my life” – “I never have time for myself” (-)


Balanced Time Use Inventory • Control over Time (6 items, α = .78) – “I feel time is slipping away through my fingers” (-) – “I am often anxious about time” (-) – “I usually feel in control of my time”

• Efficient Time Use (3 items, α = .69) – “I waste a lot of time” (-) – “Days often go by without me having done a thing” (-) – “I rarely procrastinate”

Is balanced time use related to well-being for all TP profiles? Lower for present-oriented:


Conclusions • We propose Balanced Time Use as a new multidimensional construct operationalizing the concept of ‘good’, satisfying time use • Time Management and Balanced Time Use fully mediate the effects of Future TP on well-being • Time Management is particularly helpful to people with future orientation • The predictors and outcomes of Balanced Time Use may differ for different TP profiles

The Present is not a Foe of the Future Anymore: New Evidence for the Validity of the Present Eudaimonic Scale Jonte Vowinckel Holli-Anne Passmore Colin Capaldi

Psychological wellbeing ‘ whether you look for happiness in the past, the present or the future, you experience happiness only in the present. A happy event may have occurred in the past, but you call it to mind in the present. [...] Thoughts of the past and the future can bring you happiness, but they do so by bringing happiness into the present state of mind‘. (Zimbardo and Boyd, 2008, pp. 253-254)


Blind hedonism

Healthy present orientation  Being mindfully aware of our sensations, feelings, thoughts and actions AND how we construe past and future AND how these construals influence our present mental states and behaviors.  Being flow-prone. Being actively engaged and interconnected with the surroundings.


Past and Future Mindfulness  ‘If we’re well established in the present moment, we can bring the past back to the present moment and have a deep look. You can very well examine the past and the future while you are established in the present moment. In fact you can learn from the past and plan for the future in the best way if you are grounded in the present moment.’ (Nhat Hanh, T.,2012.)


Holistic Present • ‘With this [holistic present] perspective, the past, the present, the future, the physical, the mental, and the spiritual elements in life are not separate but closely interconnected within you.’ (Zimbardo and Boyd, 2008,p.110)


Eudaimonic Present • An engaged Relationship with the Present moment • Conceptually based on: - Mindfulness - Flow-Proneness (Vowinckel, Westerhof, Bohlmeijer, & Webster, 2015) -Should not be negatively related to hedonia/enjoyment -Should not be negatively related to Consideration of future consequences


Eudaimonic Present Scale -I feel a certain peace and harmony when I stay focused on the flow of the present -I feel connected to myself when I stay in the moment -To be absorbed in the present makes me feel vital -I get a sense of meaning or purpose when I just stay in the moment -Concentrating on what is happening to me as it happens, inspires me -Being in the present helps me appreciate what I have -Concentrating on what is happening to me, as it happens, sharpens my senses -I feel connected to my environment when I just stay in the moment -I feel revitalized after staying focused on the present -Things come into focus for me when I stay in the now


Wellbeing frameworks  Hedonia – Life satisfaction – Presence of positive affect


Wellbeing frameworks • Hedonia

– Life satisfaction – Presence of positive affect

• Eudaimonia – – – – – –

Autonomy Personal growth Self-acceptance Purpose in life Environmental mastery Relatedness


A mindful and flow-prone present perspective (PE) • Enables us to understand our relations to past and future (mindfulness) => helps realizing changes we want to make in these relations • Enables us to construe past and future in a way they are meaningful to us (mindfulness) • Fosters a sense of interconnectedness with the world (Flow) • Increased awareness (mindfulness) of joyful activities (flow) fosters hedonic wellbeing without compromising the pursue of future goals (future mindfulness)


Hypotheses • Eudaimonic present perspective (PE) is positively, or at least not negatively, related to consideration of future consequences • PE is more strongly related to wellbeing measures than Present Hedonistic (PH)


Participants and Measures  Participants: 390 Canadian undergrad students (mean age: 20.12, SD = 3.55; 81.17% female) completed online questionnaires.  Measures – Modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale (Vowinckel, Westerhof, Bohlmeijer, & Webster, 2015)

– Present Hedonistic scale (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999) – Consideration of Future Consequences - 14 scale (Joireman, Balliet, Sprott, Spangenberg, & Schultz, 2008)


Additional Measures  Mental Health Continuum – Short form (Lamers et al., 2011)

 Presence of Meaning in Life scale (Steger, Frazier, Oishi, & Kaler, 2006)

 Connectedness to Nature Scale (Mayer & Frantz, 2004)  Engagement with Beauty Scale (Diessner, 2008)  Death Attitudes Profile – Revised (Wong, Reker, & Gesser, 1994)

4


What complicates FTP?

ď ą

Researched in the separate domains of education, work, and health with different measures.

ď ą

Magnitude of the relationship between FTP and outcomes varies within each life domain (e.g., Andretta, Worrell, & Mello, 2014; Gulley, 2012; Shipp, Edwards, & Lambert, 2009).

FTP as a motivator

5


Possible reasons for variations:

(I) FTP measure

single FTP component or mixture of components

domain specific or general measures

Moderators

6


(II) Culture  Individual’s FTP depends on cultural identity (e.g., Morselli, 2013; Shirai & Beresneviciene, 2005).  Strong associations between FTP and Hofstede et al’s. (2010) cultural dimensions of uncertainty-avoidance and indulgence/restraint (Sircova et al., 2014).

(III) Study and sample characteristics (e.g., gender, age are relevant for FTP; Greene & DeBacker, 2004; McInerney, 2004).

(IV) Type of outcome

(attitudes, behavioral intentions, and

behaviors).  Stronger relationships FTP and physical activity attitudes and intentions than for FTP and participation to exercise (Gulley, 2012). Moderators

7


Study goals 1. Explore the relationships between FTP and outcomes in the education, work, and health domains. 2. Examine whether or not FTP effect sizes depend on the type and focus of the FTP measure. 3. Test for the moderating effects of cultural context and sample characteristics. 4. Examine relationships between FTP and various outcome types. Study goals

Does the strength of the relationship between FTP and outcomes vary among types of outcomes?

Results

24


FTP and outcome types relationships  Significant differences based on the outcome types across life domains.  Stronger relationships for FTP and attitudes toward behavior and behavioral intention than with verifiable behaviors (e.g., FTP and educational attitudes towards behavior (r = .29); FTP and verifiable behaviors (r = .16)).  FTP and unverifiable behaviors had the strongest effect across the life domains (education; r = .33; work; r = .40; health; r = .21).

FTP measure as moderator Findings

Explanations

 Stronger effects for FTP construct involving cognition, affect, behavior.

 Affect and behavioral intention play a pivotal role in goaldirected behavior (e.g., Nurmi, 1989; Peetsma et al., 2012; Seginer, 2009).

 Educational future promotes educational-related outcomes.

 Principle of compatibility (Ajzen, 1988; Ajzen & Fishbein, 1977).

Discussion

27


Culture as a moderator

Finding  High uncertainty-avoidance cultures displayed a stronger association between FTP and educational outcomes.

Explanation  Need for a definitive prognosis and outcome expectations (Hofstede et al., 2010).

Discussion

28


Other contextual factors Finding  Future thinking was less motivating for work-related attitudes and behaviors as people age.

Explanation  Socioemotional selectivity theory (Carstensen, 1995).

Discussion

29


FTP and different outcome types

Finding  FTP is more strongly related to educational, work, and health attitudes and to educational and health behavioral intention than to (verifiable) behaviors.

Explanation  Common method variance (Podsakoff et al., 2003).

Discussion

30


Future directions Methodological

FTP measure

FTP and contextual factors Determinants and moderators of FTP– outcome relationships

more longitudinal and intervention studies, control for age, gender

(a) incorporate measures that relate to cognition, affect, and behavioral intention, (b) include domain-specific items, (c) combine self-reports with objective outcome measures

include samples from other regions (e.g., Asia, Eastern Europe)

explore possible antecedents and moderators

Future directions

My research and project – ADHD Lifestyles

ZTPI

Future Projects relating to time perception and ADHD



ADHD 

ADHD widespread neurodevelopmental disorder with very noted behavioral symptoms “Almost one in five teenage boys and 11% of all school aged children have been diagnosed with ADHD in the United States” (Schwartz and Cohen, 2013) Adult ADHD is a newly classified disorder since the release of DSM-V (APA, 2013).


ADHD 

ADHD is divided into “predominantely inattentive” “hyperactive impulsive” and “combined” The subtypes generally have a very different clinical picture. Examples of comorbidities in the various presentations

Time perspective

Alternative treatments – new frontiers


ZTPI Study  
