The role of time perspective and mindfulness on life satisfaction in the United States of America, Spain, Poland and Japan
The sequence of manipulation matters
Based on theoretical and empirical studies dealing with the facilitation and inhibiting effects of different psychic distances (low vs. high construal-level), we tested if the exhibition of self-control under a high construal-level is a more efficient and less resource exhausting mode, compared to the exhibition of self-control under a low construal level. Prior studies already showed that the execution of self-control results in a lower construa…

Time Is the Fire in Which We Burn (Out)
Aim and Background : The purpose of the current study is to examine the influence of time perspectives (TP) on the burnout-tendency of health care professionals. The concept of TP delivers a construct on how individuals frame their thinking and behavior on the emotional, cognitive and motivational level towards the past, the present and the future. Consequently, we assume that the TP configuration of health care professionals, determines how vuln…
The relationship between the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and violations of business ethics in China
Scope of research In a sample of 316 Chinese MBA students, the influence of Time Perspective on two types of unethical behaviors was tested. We differentiated between rule-based and social-concern issues. Time Perspective was measured by using a Chinese version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. Participants' evaluation of the issues as ethical-or unethical-and their behavioral intention to violate business ethics were measured. Hypothes…

The Effects of Language Use on Time Perspectives in Multilingual Morocco
In the current study, we tested the effects of language on time perspective orientation in a Moroccan student sample. Four explanation, mechanisms have been considered: first, the priming of different contents by the use of different languages; second, the influence of the use of different languages on the social identity; third, the altering of memory capacity fostered by the use of a foreign language; and fourth, the enhanced psychological dist…

High Construal Level Reduces Overoptimistic Performance Prediction
Overoptimistic performance prediction is a very common feature of people's goal-directed behavior. In this study we examined overoptimistic prediction as a function of construal level. In construal level theory an explanation is set out with regard to how people make predictions through the abstract connections between past and future events, with high-level construal bridging near and distant events. We conducted 2 experiments to confirm our hyp…

Ego-Depletion and Risk Behavior
Ego-depletion theory postulates the existence of a mental resource that is necessary for self-regulation. If the resource is diminished by a task involving self-control, achievement in subsequent self-control tasks will be impaired. Three experiments examined whether ego-depletion limits people's intentionality regarding risk behavior (i.e., choosing an option that has a certain probability of resulting in an adverse outcome). It is assumed that …
Virtuelle Räume und die Hybridisierung der Alltagswelt
In der sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskussion wird zunehmend die Frage behandelt, wie sich die Verbreitung digitaler Medientechnologien auf die soziale Lebenswelt sowie die individuelle Existenzbewältigung und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung auswirkt. Blickt man zurück, so wurde die Frage nach dem Für und Wieder von Technisierung und Medialisierung zumeist mit einer euphorischen Bejahung oder einer extremen Ablehnung beantwortet. In der öffentlichen Disk…
