The article draws primarily from the behavioral findings (mainly psychiatric and psychological observations) and points out the important relationships between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and time orientation. Specifically, the authors argue that there is a significant overlap between the symptoms of ADHD and Present Hedonism. Present Hedonism is defined by Zimbardo’s time perspective theory and assessed by Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. Developmental data on Present Hedonism of males and females in the Czech population sample (N=2201) are also presented. The hypothesis of relationship between ADHD and Present Hedonism is mainly derived from the prevalence of addictive behavior (mainly excessive Internet use, alcohol abuse, craving for sweets, fatty foods, and fast foods), deficits in social learning, and increased aggressiveness both in ADHD and in the population scoring high on Present Hedonism in the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. We conclude that Zimbardo’s time perspective offers both: 1) a potential diagnostic tool – the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, particularly its Present Hedonism scale, and 2) a promising preventive and/or therapeutic approach by the Time Perspective Therapy. Time Perspective Therapy has so far been used mainly to treat past negative trauma (most notably, posttraumatic stress disorder); however, it also has value as a potential therapeutic tool for possible behavioral compensation of ADHD.

“…For instance, well-being is more influenced by time perspective than by the Big Five personality factors ( Zhang and Howell, 2011 ). Time perspective also predicts multiple fundamental life factors such as health, happiness, and financial and environmental behaviors ( Cunningham et al, 2015 ; Hall et al, 2015 ; Klicperová-Baker et al, 2015 ; Milfont and Christophe, 2015 ).…”

Time Perspective and Age: A Review of Age Associated Differences

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We investigate the relationship between age and the five dimensions of time perspective measured by the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) (past negative, past positive, present hedonistic, present fatalistic, and future). Time perspective is related to well-being, decision-making, level of development, and many other psychological issues. Hence, the existence of a systematic relationship between time perspective and age should be considered in all studies for which time is a relevant variable. However, no specific research about this has been conducted. We collected 407 papers that referenced the ZTPI between 2001 and 2015. From those, 72 studies met our inclusion criteria. They included 29,815 participants from 19 countries whose age spans most phases of adulthood (from 13.5 to 75.5 years, mean 28.7). We analyzed these studies adapting meta-analytical techniques. We found that present hedonistic and past negative dimensions are negatively related to aging with partial eta squared effect sizes of roughly 0.15. Our results have implications for the design of studies related to time as our findings highlight the importance of taking into account the differences associated with age.

“…Regarding the motivations for research on the sense of time, Zimbardo (2012) emphasized that time perspectives are among the most powerful factors shaping human behavior. A large number of empirical studies have been conducted based on the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), demonstrating that people's time perspectives have significant effects on their fundamental life outcomes in terms of health (Hall et al, 2015), happiness (Cunningham et al, 2015), financial success (Klicperová et al, 2015), and social or environmental integration (Milfont & Demarque, 2015). The importance of time perspectives is also evidenced by a wide range of studies showing that a person's considerations of the past, present, and future are related to his or her personal goal setting, motivation, and performance (Bandura, 2001;Fried & Slowik, 2004;Nuttin, 1985), study and selfregulation (Carver & Scheier, 1981), affection (Wilson & Ross, 2003), and strategic decision-making (Back et al, 2020;Bird, 1988;Das, 1987;Gamache & McNamara, 2019).…”

CEO Temporal Focus and Corporate Philanthropy: The Moderating Role of Ownership

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examines the association between CEO temporal focus and corporate engagement in philanthropy, and considers the moderating role of ownership. This association is investigated based on upper echelons theory and the conceptual framework of temporal focus. Using a sample of 2,285 observations of Chinese listed firms from 2010 to 2015, our results show that the relationship between CEO past focus and corporate philanthropy is positive in state-owned firms but negative in private firms. In addition, CEO future focus is negatively associated with charitable activities in state-owned firms, but positively associated with such activities in private companies. For present-oriented CEOs, the relationship between temporal focus and philanthropy is negative in both public and private firms, but the negative effect is stronger in private firms. The findings of this study show how CEOs’ time perspectives shape their decisions on company engagement in philanthropic projects.
