“…Time perspective has long been discussed as an age‐related construct (Lewin, 1942; Piaget, 1955), although a considerable amount of research has focused on adults following Zimbardo and Boyd's (1999) seminal work. Recently, a new model for time perspective has been proposed that is specific to adolescents (Mello, 2019; Mello & Worrell, 2015).…”

“…Developmentally, adolescence is a particularly salient period through which to examine time perspective (Mello, 2019; Mello & Worrell, 2015). Cognitive advances (Piaget, 1975) and identity formation (Erikson, 1968) enable adolescents to consider time in a new way compared to children.…”

Introduction: Bullying victimization is detrimental to psychosocial wellbeing in adolescents. It is paramount that factors that mitigate the harmful effects of bullying victimization be identiied. Time perspective may be a potential mechanism. Thus, we examined the moderating effect of time perspective on the associations between traditional and cyberbullying victimization (being bullied in person and on electronic media) and self-esteem in adolescents. Time perspective refers to feelings and thoughts about the past, present, and future. We examined time feelings (positive and negative feelings about the time periods), time frequency (frequency of thoughts about the time periods), and time relation (the perceived relationship among the time periods). Methods: Two cross-sectional survey studies were conducted. Study 1 examined traditional bullying victimization in 721 American adolescents (M age = 15.84, SD = 1.20; 57% female). Study 2 examined cyberbullying victimization in 190 American adolescents (M age = 15.83, SD = 1.28; 59% female). Results: Hierarchical linear regression analyses indicated that time perspective dimensions moderated the associations between high levels of traditional and cyberbullying victimization and self-esteem in adolescents who (a) had strong positive and weak negative feelings about the present and future (time feelings); (b) thought a little about the past (time frequency); or (c) perceived all time periods as interrelated (time relation). Conclusions: Time perspective dimensions (feelings, frequency, and relation) moderated the associations between traditional and cyberbullying victimization and self-esteem in adolescents. Findings have implications for bullying victimization prevention efforts. Findings also demonstrate the multidimensional and multi-temporal qualities of time perspective.Bullying is a public health issue of national importance (Megan, 2019). One in ive adolescents are bullied in person, and nearly one in six are bullied on electronic media such as the internet and cellphones (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Bullying victimization includes the traditional (in-person) and cyber (electronic) forms. Adolescents who experience either traditional or cyberbullying victimization are vulnerable to psychosocial adjustment and psychological health issues (Forero et al., 1999;Garnefski & Kraaij, 2014;S ¸ahin, 2012). In particular, low self-esteem has been observed in adolescents who experienced bullying victimization (Cénat et al., 2014;Rigby & Slee, 1993).☆ This article is based on a master's thesis completed by Moon (2020).

“…Aunque teóricamente hay una base sólida que puede servir para explicar esto, los resultados en las investigaciones no son tan consistentes como se propone. Ya que, mientras algunos estudios no encuentran diferencias significativas a través de estas variables, otros llegan a plantearlas como posible causa de la PT (Chen, et al, 2016;Mello, 2019).…”

Section: Conclusionesunclassified

“…En el enfoque de Zimbardo y Boyd (1999), la PT se compone de cinco factores o marcos temporales: el pasado positivo (PP), que hace referencia a un sentimiento de apego y calidez hacia el pasado; el pasado negativo (PN), que representa una visión aversiva del pasado, relacionada a vivencias negativas; el presente hedonista (PH), que alude a una fuerte orientación hacia el placer inmediato y a una baja consideración de consecuencias futuras (Stratham, et al, 1994); el presente fatalista (PF), que implica una actitud de desesperanza e impotencia ante las condiciones de la vida; así como de vivir sometido a un destino del cual no se tiene control alguno; y finalmente, la perspectiva temporal del futuro (PTF), la cual representa un comportamiento diligente orientado al logro, las personas bajo esta perspectiva se centran en recompensas, logros y presentan una alta consideración de consecuencias futuras (Strathman, et al, 1994), por lo que representa el marco temporal más adaptativo (Mello, 2019;Zimbardo & Boyd, 2009).…”

Existe un creciente interés por el constructo perspectiva temporal (PT), el cual describe la influencia de marcos temporales en la cognición y el comportamiento. Se ha planteado que la PT se relaciona con el estatus socioeconómico. Donde una orientación al futuro influye en el manejo de finanzas personales, mayores logros educativos y mejor cuidado de la salud; no obstante, participantes bajo esta orientación suelen reportar bajos niveles de felicidad y satisfacción. En contraste, la orientación al presente se vincula con ingresos bajos, menor nivel educativo y cuidado deficiente de la salud, pero mayor felicidad y satisfacción. El objetivo del artículo es mostrar evidencia científica, mediante una revisión sistematizada, acerca de la relación entre PT y factores socioeconómicos y psicológicos, durante el periodo 1999 – 2020. Con ello se busca analizar el papel que juega la PT para el funcionamiento humano. Los resultados muestran una alta producción en el número de publicaciones. Finalmente, se discuten los alcances teóricos y metodológicos.
