If It Ticks Like a Clock, It Should Be Time Perspective

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of time perspective has acquired a prominent position within the psychology of time. After Zimbardo and Boyd´s seminal work, thousands of papers have cited its work and within the last decade; several books and papers of other authors have been dedicated to exploring and expanding its theory. Even when considering other relevant authors about this topic, such as Nuttin and Lens, among many others, Zimbardo´s theory has become a synonym of time perspective research. This chapter represents an effort to identify some of the existent shortcomings in subjective time research and more specifically in time perspective topics. This chapter intends to encourage a mostly needed discussion about what the actual state of the research being developed is and what precautions should be taken into consideration in future researches.

We are familiar with the recent literature criticizing TP theory and its shortcomings [ 10 , 11 ]. The ZTPI was the only inventory measuring TP in the Ukrainian language available at the time of the study.…”
