“…Thus, the present study further extends knowledge about TP's relationship with adaptive coping, since it uncovers for the first time ever that BTP predicts adaptive coping, at least on Hispanic/Latino populations such as Puerto Ricans. Nonetheless, it is important to note that our finding of BTP having predicted adaptive coping across Puerto Ricans bears resemblance to the findings of a previous study, where BTP predicted psychological adaptation across Ukrainian immigrants in Poland (Marczak et al, 2020). As such, the referenced finding from the study of Marczak and colleagues further supports the findings of our study pertaining to BTP and adaptive coping.…”

“…Thus, the present study further extends knowledge about the role of acculturative stress and TP on maladaptive coping, particularly since it uncovers for the first time ever that NTP predicts maladaptive coping, at least on Hispanic/ Latino populations such as Puerto Ricans. Nonetheless, it is important to note that our finding of NTP having predicted maladaptive coping across Puerto Ricans bears resemblance to the findings of a previous study, where NTP predicted depressed psychological adaptation across Ukrainian immigrants in Poland (Marczak et al, 2020).…”

“…Bolotova and Hachaturova previously reported that Past Positive, Present Hedonistic, and Future correlated with adaptive coping (Bolotova & Hachaturova, 2013). Similarly, Marczak and colleagues previously reported that the BTP profile predicted psychological adaptation across immigrants (Marczak et al, 2020). Therefore, our first hypothesis is: H 1 : Positive TP tendencies (i.e.…”

Similarly, Marczak and colleagues previously reported that the NTP profile predicted depressed psychological adaptation across immigrants (Marczak et al, 2020).

“…Along these lines, a study investigating the relationship between TPs and immigrants' psychological adaptation (i.e. affective aspects of migration) on a sample of Ukrainian immigrants residing in Poland revealed that Past Negative, Present Fatalistic, and NTP are related to depressed psychological adaptation; whereas BTP facilitated psychological adaptation across this immigrant group (Marczak et al, 2020). Concerning refugees, a study on TPs and PTSD-vulnerability among Syrian refugees in Greece revealed that high Past Negative, high Present Fatalistic, low Future, and low BTP predicted PTSD symptoms among Syrian refugees (Papastamatelou et al, 2021).…”

The role of time perspective and acculturative stress on adaptive and maladaptive stress coping strategies of Puerto Ricans living in the island of Puerto Rico and the state of Connecticut in mainland United States

We assessed the role of Time Perspective (TP) and acculturative stress on adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, across healthy and treatment-seeking Puerto Ricans living in the island of Puerto Rico (PR), as well as at the state of Connecticut in mainland United States (US). Participants were comprised of 197 adults from the island of PR, as well as 138 adults from Connecticut. TP was measured through five categories assessed by the Zimbardo TP Inventory (Past Positive, Past Negative, Present Fatalistic, Present Hedonistic, and Future), the Deviation from a Balanced Time Perspective-revisited (DBTPr) coefficient, and the Deviation from the Negative Time Perspective (DNTP) coefficient. Acculturative stress was measured with the Acculturative Distress Scale. Adaptive and maladaptive stress-coping were measured through the Brief COPE Inventory. DNTP predicted adaptive coping, whereas acculturative stress, Present Hedonistic, and DBTPr predicted maladaptive coping. Puerto Ricans living in Connecticut engaged more often in maladaptive coping than those in PR. Acculturative stress partially mediated the influence of DBTPr on maladaptive coping. DNTP mediated the influence of state on adaptive coping. DBTPr and acculturative stress totally mediated the influence of state on maladaptive coping. These findings suggest that assessing TP, levels of acculturative stress, and coping strategies could assist in tailoring evidence-based interventions to the specific needs of Puerto Rican populations. Doing so could be effective in promoting a Balanced Time Perspective, reducing acculturative stress, increasing adaptive coping, and improving mental as well as physical health, on Puerto Ricans living in PR or mainland US.

Background Research on procrastination, regarding time perspective factors and basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) has placed this problem at the meeting point of individual and contextual variables. The present study focused both on the individual, given that time perspectives can be defined as a person’s attitude to an object (time) at three moments (present, past, future); and on contextual aspects, because the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (competence, autonomy, relatedness) is facilitated or made difficult by social contexts. Based on this, the aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between time perspectives and inter-subject procrastination variations, testing the moderating role of BPNS in this relationship. Method A total of 1,188 undergraduate students, aged 17–50 years (M = 20.02, SD = 2.63), completed three questionnaires containing the variables of interest. Results Regression analyses showed significant negative (thus, potentially protective) association of future time perspective with all three procrastination dimensions (decisional procrastination, implemental delay, and lateness). Conversely, past-negative time perspective showed a positive (thus, potentially adverse) association with procrastination. Satisfaction of the need for competence also showed a negative (thus, potentially protective) association with all procrastination dimensions. On eight occasions, the relationships between time perspectives and procrastination dimensions were moderated by psychological need satisfaction. Conclusions These findings show that BPNS may play relevant roles in the negative (favourable) relationships between procrastination dimensions and positive time perspectives, as well as in the positive (adverse) associations between negative time perspectives and procrastination dimensions. Contextual interventions fostering enhanced levels of perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as well as future time perspective, are thus strong candidates to consider for use and evaluation by policy makers, pedagogues, teachers, coaches and other professionals interested in counteracting procrastination tendencies.

When individuals encounter a cultural circle other than the one that constructs their memory, self, and consciousness, they are likely to experience some adaptation problems. Especially for individuals living in a foreign country, such problems can be much more diverse. Therefore, it is extremely important to examine such problems by focusing on the individual’s perceptions and experiences in various dimensions. The aim of this study is to determine the profiles of learners of Turkish as a second language in terms of acculturation orientation, psychological adjustment, and perceived cultural distance and the relationship between them. In line with this aim, the correlational method, one of the quantitative research methods, was preferred in the study. The sample group consisted of 300 learners at B2, C1 and C1+ language levels who were studying at Turkish language teaching centres of different universities in Türkiye in the 2022-2023 academic year. A 7-point Likert-type short scale developed by Demes and Geeraert (2014) consisting of the dimensions of acculturation orientation, psychological adjustment, and cultural distance was used as a data collection tool; the data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 statistical package program. As a result of the research, it was found that the participants, who exhibited different profiles in terms of scores according to gender, language level, education level, reason for coming to Türkiye, native language, and number of languages known, showed that as their orientation toward home culture increased, their orientation toward Turkish culture and perceived cultural distance scores increased correlatively; however, their psychological adjustment scores decreased. While no relationship was found between the participants' orientation toward Turkish culture and their psychological adjustment and intercultural distance perceptions, it was observed that as their psychological adjustment scores increased, their perceived cultural distance scores decreased. Finally, the results obtained from the study were interpreted and discussed in the light of the literature. Various suggestions were also presented to the researchers by mentioning the limitations of the study.
