“…Internal consistency estimates ≥ .70 have been consistently reported for five of the six AATI-TA scores, with future negative scores having lower estimates in some samples (Worrell et al, 2020). Additionally, evidence in support of the hypothesized six factor structure has been reported for samples from the United States (Mello et al, 2016;Worrell et al, 2013), Germany (Buhl & Lindner, 2009;Worrell et al, 2013), New Zealand (Alansari et al, 2013), the United Kingdom (Cole et al, 2017;, Turkey (Çelik et al, 2017;Şahin-Baltaci et al, 2017), Albania (Worrell et al, 2020), Nigeria (Mello et al, 2019), Italy (Donati et al, 2019;Worrell et al, 2020), and Japan (Chishima et al, 2019).…”

“…The six-factor solution yielded better fit to the data than the competing models based on valence and time periods. This finding replicates results reported in other studies differing in language and culture (e.g., Alansari et al, 2013;Buhl & Lindner, 2009;Çelik et al, 2017;Chishima et al, 2019;Cole et la., 2017;Donati et al, 2019;Juriševič et al, 2017;Konowalczyk et al, 2018;Mello et al, 2016Mello et al, , 2019Şahin-Baltaci et al, 2017;Worrell et al, 2013Worrell et al, , 2020. The strength of coefficients is another highlight of the measure, as all but three items had coefficients higher than .65 on their latent variable.…”

Temporal psychology constructs are an individual difference variable related to behavioral outcomes. Recent research has shown that there are different time attitude profiles based on different configurations of the six Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory-Time Attitude (AATI-TA) subscales. The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of AATI-TA scores in Uruguay and determine the existence of temporal profiles in this context. Participants were a convenience sample of 446 (36.5% males) adults in Uruguay with a mean age of 34.53 years (SD = 13.17, range 18–75 years). Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the AATI-TA, and questionnaires on intentions, behaviors, and attitudes towards healthy food consumption and physical activity. AATI-TA scores had good reliabilities (> .70). The six-factor solution was supported and invariance by gender and age group was established. We identified five profiles – Resilients, High Positives, Negatives, Present Negatives, and Moderate Positives – which were associated differently with healthy food consumption patterns. Negative profiles were related to higher levels of unhealthy food consumption.

“…Research on time orientation has emphasized an individual's orientation toward multiple time periods. For example, a "balanced" perspective is characterized by an equal attention toward the past, present, and future (Cottle, 1967;Mello, Oladipo, Paoloni, & Worrell, 2018;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). In studies with adolescents that are diverse in racial/ethnic and economic backgrounds, research has shown that individuals who were oriented the present and the future simultaneously were also associated with higher self-esteem and academic achievement and lower risky-behavior than their counterparts (Mello et al, 2013).…”

“…However, 80% of Iranian adolescents reported thinking about the present and the future on a daily basis, with the majority of the other 20% thinking about these two time periods on a weekly basis. Similarly, Mello et al. (2018) found that more than 90% of Nigerian adolescents and young adults reported thinking about the present and future daily and 62% reported thinking about the past on a daily.…”

Time Perspective Constructs in Albanian and Italian Adolescents: Exploratory Analyses

Time perspective is an important correlate of developmental outcomes in adolescence, and research has highlighted the importance of assessing the past, the present, and the future. However, there are few instruments that assess all three time periods. In the current study, we examined the responses of Italian and Albanian adolescents on the time frequency, time orientation, time relation, and time attitude subscales of the Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory. Participants consisted of two samples of adolescents—246 Italians and 312 Albanians—who completed translated versions of the Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory. Italian and Albanian adolescents had similar responses to time frequency and time attitudes but differed in time orientation and time relation. Additionally, psychometric evidence supported the internal consistency and structural validity of scores on five of the six time attitude subscales—Past Positive, Past Negative, Present Positive, Present Negative, and Future Positive—but provided less support for Future Negative subscale scores. Time attitude scores showed strong invariance across countries. Comparisons of time attitude mean scores in this study with time attitude means in samples from Germany, Japan, Italy, New Zealand, Turkey, and the United States revealed similarities and differences. Finally, time constructs did not have substantial associations with risky behaviors or seatbelt use. The findings suggest that the Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory can be used in cross-cultural research on time perspective and may help us understand adolescents in these contexts.
