People with Positive Time Perspective are More Grateful and Happier
The current study examined the associations between time perspective, dispositional gratitude, and life satisfaction. The aim of the study was to check if gratitude mediates the relationship between time perspectives and life satisfaction. The participants were 591 Polish people aged 18–73 ( M = 30, SD 5.45). We used several measures: the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Gratitude Questionnaire, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, the Carpe…
The structure of time perspective
The purpose of the paper is to present the main findings on the factor structure of time perspective measured using the Polish version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (Zimbardo and Boyd, 1999) in different age groups. A total of 2789 adults took part in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis of Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory items was conducted in a group of respondents aged 18-78 years to verify the original five-factor structur…
Development and validation of the Dark Future scale
The purpose of studies presented in this article was to develop and validate a short version of the Future Anxiety scale. The Future Anxiety scale consists of 29 items; it measures the tendency to think about the future with anxiety and uncertainty and to anticipate disasters in the future. We developed a short form of this scale-the Dark Future scale-on a total sample of 2285 Polish adults across two studies. In Study 1, we examined the reliabil…
Positive orientation
Positive orientation is a general tendency to react to life experiences in a positive way. My aim in this article was to characterize the nature of positive orientation in the context of similar psychological variables. The importance of taking into account the sense of meaning in life as an additional positive orientation variable has been highlighted, suggesting that the value in the concept of positive orientation lies in its focus on a genera…
While We Wait for Life, Life Passes
The aim of the present study was to develop a short version of the Time Metaphors Questionnaire (TMQ; Sobol-Kwapinska & Nosal, 2009 ). The original TMQ consists of 95 items and was designed to measure time conceiving. Because completing the TMQ is very time-consuming, this research develops a short form of this questionnaire-Time Metaphors Questionnaire-Short Form (TMQ-SF). A sample of 990 Polish adults completed the TMQ. One-half of the sample w…
Hedonism, fatalism and 'carpe diem
This study investigated the relationships between three types of attitude towards the present time and sense of purpose and meaning in life, positive and negative affect, time conception, past and future time orientations, and the 'Big Five'. K-means cluster analysis revealed three profiles of attitudes towards the present time: 'Epicureanism', 'fatalistic hedonism' and 'absence from here and now'. 'Epicureanism', in contrast to 'fatalistic hedon…

Forms of present time orientation and satisfaction with life in the context of attitudes toward past and future
The relationships between forms of present time orientation (active concentration, hedonism, and fatalism) and satisfaction with life were examined. Data from 320 participants on time orientation measures and two satisfaction with life measures were analyzed using regression and canonical analyses. Unlike hedonism and fatalism, active present time orientation was associated with greater satisfaction with life and with more effective achievement o…
