Zimbardo time perspective inventory
Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory | Science Of Behavior Change
The 56-item Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZPTI) measures individual differences in time-orientation, or tendency to focus on different aspects of the past, present, and future. The measure consists of five subscales, with answers scored from 1, very uncharacteristic [of me], to 5, very characteristic [of me]. The subscales are: (1) Past-Negative, including 10 items such as, “I think about the bad things that have happened to me in the past,” (2) Present-Hedonistic, including 15 items such as, “Taking risks keeps my life from becoming boring,” (3) Future, including 13 items such as, “I complete projects on time by making steady progress,” (4) Past-Positive, including nine items such as, “It gives me pleasure to think about the past,” and (5) Present-Fatalistic, including nine items such as, “Often luck pays off better than hard work.”

Identified | The ZPTI was designed to capture different facets of perspective on time encompassing the past, present, and future (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999; 2015). How one thinks about time has been linked to a broad range of behavioral, health, and psychological outcomes. In a paper summarizing the development of the ZPTI, Zimbardo and Boyd (1999; 2015) reviewed a large body of research, both qualitative and quantitative, supporting this assertion. A present orientation, for example, relates to risk behaviors ranging from substance use, risky driving, and sexual risk behaviors, to delaying required participation in research participant pool studies. Conversely, a future orientation relates to planning and healthful behaviors (e.g., breast cancer screenings). Time perspectives also relate to coping during stress, with more negative outcomes for Past-Negative and Present-Fatalistic time orientations; this has been extended to coping with homelessness. Although time perspective did not predict a return to stable housing, it did relate to time usage while in the shelter (e.g., looking for employment or watching TV). This body of work suggests that targeting the way someone is predisposed to think about time through reframing and other interventions could have powerful and widespread effects on behavior in multiple domains.

Measured | Although developing the five factors on the ZPTI took many years, Zuckerman and Boyd (1999; 2015) reported only the final exploratory and confirmatory analyses.
In a sample of 606 undergraduate students, exploratory factor analysis confirmed the five-factor solution uncovered in previous iterations of the survey. This structure was then tested in a new sample of 361 students using confirmatory factor analysis. All loadings but two exceeded the standardized cutoff of .30 (one was -.26, another .29), and fit indices were favorable (Χ2/df = 2.30). Test-retest was examined in a sample of 58 undergraduate students, and, over the course of four weeks, scores remained stable, rs > .70. [+] PMCID, PUBMED ID, or CITATIONText Citation: Zimbardo, P.
