Time beyond traits: Time perspective dimensions, personality traits, and substance use in adolescents

Time Beyond Personality: Associations Between Time Perspective and Academic Outcomes Among Adolescents

“…Overall, the results of Study 2 were consistent with research that underscored the unique predictive power of time perspective above and beyond personality traits (Assylkhan et al, 2021;Przepiorka et al, 2020). These findings contribute to the ongoing debate about the distinction between time perspective and personality traits (Kairys & Liniauskaite, 2015) by showing that time perspective was found to be a distinct correlate of academic outcomes above and beyond personality traits.…”

“…Internal consistency estimates indicated that the items on each subscale of the personality traits yielded reliable scores (αs > .75), with the exception of the agreeableness subscale (α = .55). Therefore, based on previous research (Assylkhan et al, 2021), four items were excluded from the analyses to revise the agreeableness subscale. Internal consistency estimates indicated that the items on the revised agreeableness subscale yielded reliable scores (α = .74).…”

“…Whereas other research has indicated that time perspective and personality traits are distinct from one another. For example, time perspective was associated with substance use among adolescents, above and beyond personality traits (Assylkhan et al, 2021). Similarly, studies that have controlled for personality traits have indicated that time perspective was associated with life satisfaction, (Zhang & Howell, 2011) and holding positive judgments about the self and life (Przepiorka et al, 2020).…”

“…Third, how is time perspective associated with academic outcomes, while controlling for personality traits? Time perspective was expected to be associated with academic outcomes above and beyond personality traits, given prior evidence that showed that time perspective was associated with substance use among adolescents after controlling for personality traits (Assylkhan et al, 2021).…”

An Examination of Multidimensional Time Perspective and Mental Health Outcomes

“…The other remaining scales—including time frequency, time orientation, and time relation—are single items. The validity of these items has been demonstrated by several studies [ 19 , 26 , 40 ]. However, traditional psychometric analyses to determine structural validity and reliability are not possible.…”
