“…As Marcoen, Grommen and Van Ranst (2006) pointed out, "a realistic future perspective would be an advantage for the adaptation and happiness of the elderly" (p. 139). Zaleski, Cycon andKurc (2001, in Boniwell &Zimbardo, 2004) concluded that a future TP is positively correlated with nearly all aspects of well-being, such as a meaningful life, social self-efficacy and persistence. According to Peterson (2000), a future TP is related to two poles, namely optimism and pessimism.…”

“…Drake and co-workers (2008) found a significant relationship between the Present-Hedonistic TP and subjective happiness. The Present-Fatalistic factor of the ZTPI represents fatalistic, helpless and hopeless attitudes towards life and the future and has a significant and strong correlation with aggression, anxiety and depression (Boniwell, 2005;Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2004;Zimbardo, 2002;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999, 2008.…”

“…Several instruments have been developed to measure TP, including the Circles Test (Cottle, 1967), the Experiential Inventory (Cottle, 1968), the Time Structure Questionnaire (Bond & Feather, 1988) and the Rappaport Time Line (Rappaport, Enrich & Wilson, 1985), but none of these instruments were highly reliable or could be used to measure all three time dimensions, and most of them involve scoring difficulties (Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2004;Kazakina, 1999). For this reason, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) was developed.…”

Time perspective is crucial for our present and future plans, and for the way we act in the present. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between time perspective and subjective well-being in older adults. The sample of our questionnaire study consisted of 149 older adults aged between 65 and 96 years. Time perspective was measured with the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. The five time perspective dimensions were related to four specific aspects of subjective well-being (positive affect, negative affect, life satisfaction and depression). Future-oriented older persons had a more positive affect. Older adults who were positively oriented towards the past appeared to be more satisfied with life. A hedonistic view of the present was related to a high positive affect. Older persons with a Past-Negative perspective were more likely to experience negative affect and depressive feelings, along with a lower level of positive affect and satisfaction with life. The Present-Fatalistic time perspective correlated with more depressive symptoms. The findings emphasize the relevance of time perspective styles for the subjective well-being, which has specific implications for the way caregivers could interact with older adults to enhance quality of life.

“…Actualmente, se está trabajando en un concepto denominado Perspectiva Temporal Equilibrada o BTP (Balancead Time Perspective) (Boniwell, 2009;Boniwell y Zimbardo, 2004;Zimbardo y Boyd, 2009), que implicaría no sólo la orientación futura como importante, sino también espacios personales de tipo hedonista y un contacto con los aspectos positivos del pasado. Este equilibrio temporal o BTP, ha sido relacionado con otros aspectos tan importantes como la salud física y mental (Oyanadel y Buela-Casal, 2011), e implica que la orientación al pasado negativo y presente fatalista debe ser muy baja, ya que cuando no lo es hay mayor riesgo para la salud.…”

ResumenLa percepción del tiempo es una capacidad esencial para la adaptación del ser humano al ambiente. Un aspecto de su estudio, la orientación temporal, caracteriza la actitud de las personas hacia el presente, pasado y futuro. el ZtpI ha sido adaptado en múltiples países, y se han descrito aplicaciones en psicología clínica y de la salud. Este estudio busca adaptar y describir las propiedades del instrumento en una muestra chilena. Se reclutaron 604 participantes, entre 18 y 70 años. Las propiedades de los ítems y el análisis factorial exploratorio, señalan que es posible mantener la estructura original del instrumento con cinco factores. Reubicando 6 ítems el Alpha de Cronbach va desde .59 para Pasado Positivo a .80 para Pasado Negativo y Futuro. Son discutidas diferencias de género y edad. Siendo necesario otros estudios de validación, se establece como test útil para investigar la orientación temporal en población chilena. Palabras Clave: psicología, Orientación temporal, ZtpI, estudio Instrumental Abstract time perception is a fundamental capacity for adapting of people. One aspect, time perspective is a functional attitude that characterize to persons with their past, present and future. With ZtpI, these dimensions are tested in many countries, and theory from authors of ZtpI is linked to different areas of clinical and Health Psychology. The aim of this study is adapting and describing the first psychometrics properties of the inventory in a Chilean sample. The 604 participants (18-70 years old) answered voluntary the inventory. The properties of the items and the factorial analysis show that the test maintains the factorial structure. With a new position of six items, the rank of Cronbach´s Alpha is between .59 for Past Positive and .80 for Future. Gender and age differences are discussed. Is necessary further studies but this test shows that ZTPI has a utility metric for time perspective in chilean population.

“…These inconsistencies are generally associated with an individual's level of impulsivity and time perspective. Time perspective reveals how an individual relates to the past, present and future (Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2004) while impulsivity is linked to low levels of self-control and the inability to delay gratification (Evenden, 1999). Being able to exert impulse control and a future-oriented time perspective 8 are believed to play an important part in increasing self-control (Loewenstein, 1996) and overcoming procrastination (Ferrari & Díaz-Morales, 2007).…”

Given the worldwide concern that individuals are not saving sufficiently for retirement, many governments are taking action to try and rectify this tendency. A key focus area is implementing policies to dissuade individuals from accessing accumulated retirement funds when changing jobs. While traditional economic theories assume that individuals act rationally and make optimal decisions without outside intervention, current policy interventions support behavioural theories of decision-making where sub-optimal choices occur due to limitations in human decision-making. Therefore, interventions are based on the assumption that individuals act irrationally. Despite these interventions, many individuals still
