Present-Eudaimonic Scale

Charting everyday activities in later life: Study protocol of the mobility, activity, and social interactions study (MOASIS)

“…We assessed several interindividual difference characteristics from the self and personality domains, including Big Five personality traits (Big Five Inventory-2; Danner et al, 2016), self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale; Schwarzer and Jerusalem, 1999), control beliefs (Midlife Development Inventory; Lachman and Weaver, 1998), and mindfulness (Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale; Michalak et al, 2008). Furthermore, we assessed participants' time perspective using the Future Time Perspective Scale (Carstensen and Lang, 1996) and the Modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale (mBTPS; Vowinckel et al, 2017). In addition, participants rated their sense of purpose in life (German Purpose Scale; Scheier et al, 2006), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale; Rosenberg, 1965;Von Collani and Herzberg, 2003), and several aspects of subjective age (i.e., felt age, looked age, wanted age).…”

Validation of the Japanese Version of the Modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale: Factor Structure, Reliability, and Validity Results1

“…This is consistent with Lewin's (1951) definition of time perspectives as "the totality of the individual's view of his psychological future and his psychological past existing at a given time" (p. 75). For instance, BTP has been related to greater mindfulness (Rönnlund et al, 2019), higher fluid intelligence and executive control (Zajenkowski, Stolarski, Witowska, Maciantowicz, & Lowicki, 2016), higher positive mood states (Stolarski, Matthews, Postek, Zimbardo, & Bitner, 2014), life satisfaction (Zhang & Howell, 2011), wisdom (Webster, Bohlmeijer, & Westerhof, 2014), flourishing (Vowinckel, Westerhof, Bohlmeijer, & Webster, 2017), and behaviors such as lower compulsive buying (Unger, Lyu, & Zimbardo, 2018).…”

“…One alternative measure included in a recent review by Mohammed and Marhefka (2020) that showed promising psychometric properties was the mBTPS (Webster, 2011;Vowinckel et al, 2017). The original BTPS had good to excellent psychometric properties but lacked a Present subscale, which Webster (2011) noted would be a useful addition to the original BTPS to supplement the Past and Future subscales.…”

“…The original BTPS had good to excellent psychometric properties but lacked a Present subscale, which Webster (2011) noted would be a useful addition to the original BTPS to supplement the Past and Future subscales. This addition was subsequently carried out by Vowinckel et al (2017). The mBTPS includes the original 14-item Past and 14-item Future subscales, as well as an additional 10-item Present subscale (see Vowinckel et al, 2017, for the development of items and construction of the modified version of the BTPS).…”

The mBTPS consists of three TP factors that measure positive attitudes, cognitions, and emotions concerning a person's subjectively appraised past, present, and future.…”
