“…Until recently TP has been viewed and measured as a unidimensional, stable personality construct (present-or future-oriented; e.g., Strathman, Gleicher, Boninger, & Edwards, 1994;Zuckerman, 1994). But TP is also malleable in that it expands as cognitive development occurs and is responsive to changing life situations-life stress and adversity may powerfully affect an individual's sense of time and its passing (see Carstensen et al, 1999;Holman & Silver, 1998;Lavi & Solomon, 2005). At the same time, however, if one domain of TP (past, present, future) is habitually and chronically overused it may become a more rigid dispositional style that predicts subsequent behavior (e.g., past-orientation following trauma; Holman & Silver, 1998).…”
