“…Finally, Future was associated with low ImpSS, high Act and to a lesser extent with high N-Anx scores. Therefore, and according to previous studies on behaviors associated with future consequences (Adams & Nettle, 2009;Daugherty & Brase, 2010;Zhang & Howell, 2011), the future frame is associated with Conscientiousness facilitating individuals the control of immediate impulses and the adjustment of planned responses that regulate present behaviors that might cause future losses (Strathman et al, 1994;Zimbardo & Boyd, 2009). Additionally, a cognitive regulation of expectancies to achieve future oriented goals might involve a need of investing energy and increasing activity levels (Boyd & Zimbardo, 2005).…”

“…In this same validation study, results showed that the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS; Zuckerman, Eysenck, & Eysenck, 1978) was strongly and positively associated with Present-Hedonistic; while a significant negative correlation was found with Future. Recently, several studies (Adams & Nettle, 2009;Daugherty & Brase, 2011;Dunkel & Weber, 2010;van Beek et al, 2011;Zhang & Howell, 2011) have also analyzed the relationship between the FFM and TP using different assessment instruments. All together, these correlational studies have shown that the most replicated finding and the strongest associations between TP and personality are: a) Future TP is positively associated with Conscientiousness; b) Past-Negative is positively associated with Neuroticism and negatively with Extraversion, and c) PresentHedonistic is positively correlated with Extraversion.…”

Título: ¿Hasta qué punto está relacionada la personalidad con la perspectiva temporal? Resumen Estudios recientes han analizado los correlatos conductuales de la perspectiva temporal (PT), sugiriendo que esta diferencia individual influye en muchos comportamientos relacionados con la salud, tales como el consumo de tabaco y otras sustancias, la actividad física o la satisfacción vital. Se sugiere que una PT consistentemente sesgada hacia un determinado marco temporal está asociada con algunos trastornos psiquiátricos y también está mediada por determinados factores de personalidad. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que han explorado la relación entre personalidad y PT, y ninguno de ellos bajo una perspectiva psicobiológica. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación entre el Inventario de Perspectiva Zimbardo Time (ZTPI) y Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ) en una muestra de 196 estudiantes universitarios a través de un análisis de regresión múltiple. Los resultados mostraron que: el pasado negativo correlaciona positivamente con el Neuroticismo-Ansiedad y negativamente con la Actividad; el presente hedonista correlaciona positivamente con la Impulsividad-Búsqueda de Sensaciones y la Sociabilidad en un grado muy alto, y el futuro correlaciona positivamente también con el Neuroticismo-Ansiedad y la Actividad, y negativamente con la ImpulsividadBúsqueda de Sensaciones. Los resultados se discuten en términos de la definición de ambas escalas, sus relaciones y sus implicaciones en campos aplicados. Palabras clave: Personalidad; perspectiva temporal; ZKPQ; ZTPI.Abstract: Recent research has focused on behavioral correlates of temporal perspective (TP), suggesting that this individual difference has an influence on many health-related behaviors such as smoking and substance use, physical activity or life satisfaction. It is suggested that a consistently biased temporal orientation is associated with some psychiatric disorders and mediated by personality factors. However, few studies have explored the relationship between personality and TP from a psychobiological approach. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) and the ZuckermanKuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ) in a sample of 196 undergraduate students through a multiple regression analysis. Results showed that: Past-Negative correlated positively with Neuroticism-Anxiety and negatively with Activity; Present Hedonistic correlated positively with Impulsive-Sensation Seeking and Sociability in a very high degree; and Future correlated positively with Neuroticism-Anxiety and Activity, and negatively with Impulsive-Sensation Seeking. Results are discussed in terms of the definition of both scales, their relationships and their implications in applied fields.

“…Expectation situation it detects to achieve the goals set by the individual, it determines the life satisfaction (Aysan and Bozkurt, 2004). In addition, as a result of a combination of personal characteristics and life satisfaction it consists of individual future time perspective (Zhang and Howell, 2011). For this reason, life satisfaction and future time perspective can be perceived as predictors of each other.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the role of loneliness and future time perspective as the predictors of life satisfaction levels of university students. The research was done with relational screening model. Data were obtained from 706 (386 women, 320 men) volunteer undergraduate university students. In order to collect data, "The Satisfaction with Life Scale", "Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale" and "Future Time Perspective Scale", are applied. Multiple regression technique is used to analyze the collected data. According to the result of the regression analysis levels it was discovered that the students' loneliness levels (social, romantic, and family subscales) are the predictors of their life satisfaction. However, it was concluded that the students' future time perspective (connectedness, value, speed and extension subscales) cannot predict their life satisfaction. Social interactions in the family setting, friend groups and romantic relationship would be a kind of social support for university students. Cross cultural studies would be useful to establish frameworks that can guide future research.

“…Regression analysis was used to analyze the data and it was found out that extraversion and neuroticism were the best predictors of satisfaction with life. Higher extraversion scores were associated with higher satisfaction with life [23]. Extraversion exerts a positive effect on the long-term satisfaction with life of Dutch people [24].…”

This empirical study demonstrates that extraversion and loneliness as important variables predicting depression, subjective happiness, satisfaction with life and online flow experience. Extraversion was categorized into two categories, namely high and low extraversion. Similarly loneliness was also categorized into high and low loneliness. Data was collected from 342 participants (184 males and 158 females) using a structured questionnaire that contained all the variables of the study. Statistical techniques such as reliability and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results revealed significant main effects of extraversion and loneliness on depression, subjective happiness, satisfaction with life and online flow experience. High extraversion and low loneliness had a negative effect on depression and online flow experience, and a positive effect on subjective happiness and satisfaction with life. Interaction effects indicated that an individual has low depression and low online flow experience, and high subjective happiness and high satisfaction with life when he/she is extroverted in nature and suffers from low degree of loneliness. The details of findings of the study have been suitably discussed.
