“…A balanced time perspective predicted general well-being (Zhang et al, 2013). Specifically, a balanced time perspective was related to an increase in happiness, gratitude, vitality, self-determination, positive affect, psychological need satisfaction, and life satisfaction as well as a decrease in negative emotions as reported by Zhang et al (2013). This balancing of time perspective is considered unconscious (Zimbardo & Boyd, 2008), yet others believe it can be created (Boniwell et al, 2010).…”

“…Additionally, a study conducted by Cretu (2012) was able to confirm a strong positive relationship between future and past-positive time perspectives with a happier lifestyle and higher self-esteem. A balanced time perspective predicted general well-being (Zhang et al, 2013). The construct of a balanced time perspective is a complex one that requires further examination.…”

“…It is one in which attitudes towards the present, future, and past are interconnected so that flexibility among all three can be achieved under different circumstances that may require different perspectives (Boniwell, Osin, Linley, & Ivanchenko, 2010). The possession of a balanced time perspective is considered ideal because it implies choice and control over one's perception of time, allowing individuals to better adapt to changing situations (Zhang, Howell, & Stolarski, 2013). The art of balancing time perspective involves the mental ability to consciously switch time perspectives based on personal resources, the context of a situation, and features of a task .…”

The perception of time (the use of temporal categories to conceptualize experiences) affects human behavior.Students' time perspective predicts academic outcomes: those with future orientations tend to have better academic outcomes than those with past or present, according to Zimbardo and Boyd's psychology of time model, and may contribute to the 80% attrition rate of emergent online distance learning programs. However, their model is limited because of the exclusion of certain variables that may influence the development and maintenance of time perspective. Zimbardo and Boyd's model claims that time perspective continually develops and changes but does not explain which variables or aspects of structure and discipline affect time perspective or its plasticity. This nonexperimental quantitative survey study was designed to ascertain whether emotional intelligence, attachment style, and resilience predicted time perspective, since each of these variables has been shown to influence behavior and relate to time perspective. Participants were 93 distance learning doctoral candidates from universities with an online format. Data gathered online from the Zimbardo Time Perception Inventory, Resilience Scale, Psychosocial Maturity Inventory, Revised Adult Attachment Scale, and a demographic questionnaire were analyzed using step-wise logistic regression analyses. Future time perspective was predicted by resilience, independent attachment style, dissertation phase, marital status (married), and gender (male). Present-hedonistic time perspective was predicted by low emotional intelligence, and dissertation phase. Present-fatalistic time perspective was predicted by low emotional intelligence. Past-positive time perspective was predicted by low anxiety attachment scores.Past-negative time perspective was predicted by an anxiety attachment style and high emotional intelligence.Results advanced Zimbaro and Boyd's theory of time perspective by identifying these variables as predictors of time perspective and how they worked together to influence time perspective. The presence of predictors indicated that previous research was incomplete in its explanation of the relationship between time perspectives and human behaviors, such as academic achievement, because of the contribution of emotional intelligence, resilience, and attachment style to time perspective. Results also indicated the need to include these variables in prediction models of attrition rates of online doctoral programs. (Schneider, 2010), social learning (Pratt et al., 2010;Wentzel, Battle, Russell, & Looney, 2010), sociocultural (Swain, Kinnear, & Steinman, 2011), and ecological systems (Janssen, Holahan, Lee, & Ostrom, 2010). One very interesting question that has been a focus in the scientific literature (Hamilton, Kives, Micevski, & Grace, 2003;Keough, Zimbardo, & Boyd, 1999; Milfont, Andrade, Belo, & Pessoa, 2008; is how the perception of time (the use of temporal categories or perspectives to conceptualize experiences; may affect human behavior, and in...

“…Manoma, kad būtent toks skirtingų laiko perspektyvų santykis lemia sėkmingą asmens adaptaciją socialinėje aplinkoje -toks žmogus sugeba suderinti ateities tikslų siekimą su gebėjimu džiaugtis šia akimirka, randa atsparą praeityje (Zimbardo, Boyd, 1999;. Tačiau vis dar nėra sutariama, kokiu būdu identifikuoti subalansuotą LP -siūloma tiek teoriškai nustatyti pjū-vio taškai, tiek klasterinė analizė (Drake et al, 2009;Zhang, Howell, Stolarsky, 2013). Šiame tyrime pasirinktas klasterinės analizės metodas, leidžiantis identifikuoti ne tik optimalią subalansuotą laiko perspektyvą, bet ir leidžia aptikti kitus LP derinius.…”

Šio tyrimo tikslas – ištirti mokinių ir studentų karjeros planavimo gebėjimų ypatumus (karjeros adaptyvumą ir karjeros sprendimų savaveiksmingumą) skirtinguose laiko perspektyvos klasteriuose. Tyrime dalyvavo 203 vyresniųjų klasių mokiniai ir 176 bakalauro pakopos studentai. Remiantis gautais tyrimų rezultatais, buvo išskirti penki laiko perspektyvomis grįsti klasteriai. Nustatyti statistiškai reikšmingi mokinių karjeros adaptyvumo ir studentų karjeros sprendimų savaveiksmingumo skirtumai tarp į skirtingus klasterius patekusių asmenų leidžia naujai pažvelgti į jaunų žmonių karjeros planavimo ypatumus ir parodo, kad laiko perspektyva dažnai nepelnytai pamirštama karjeros tyrimuose.

“…Zhang, Howell, and Stolarski (2013) proposed the Deviation of the Balanced Time Perspective (DBTP) coefficient, a method to aggregate ZTPI's scores; it includes the optimal scores of the five temporal dimensions and the individual's score in each of these same dimensions. The result allows identifying the individual's proximity or deviance from the optimal TP.…”
