Time perspective and Facebook addiction: The moderating role of neuroticism
2021
The present paper verified the hypothesis that neuroticism moderates the relationship between past-negative or present-fatalistic time perspectives and Facebook addiction. A sample of 248 Facebook users (Female: 66%, mean age: 21.5 years) filled the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventor and the Facebook Addiction Italian Questionnaire. Two hierarchical regression analyses tested a moderator model in which time perspectives have been defined as independent variables, Facebook addiction as dependent variables, and neuroticism as moderator. Gender and age were introduced in the model as covariates. Results show that past-negative significantly predicts Facebook addiction through the moderation ef…
Who are maximizers? Future oriented and highly numerate individuals
2014
Two studies investigated cognitive mechanisms that may be associated with people's tendency to maximize. Maximizers are individuals who are spending a great amount of effort in order to find the very best option in a decision situation, rather than stopping the decision process when they encounter a satisfying option. These studies show that maximizers are more future oriented than other people, which may motivate them to invest the extra energy into optimal choices. Maximizers also have higher numerical skills, possibly facilitating the cognitive processes involved with decision trade-offs.
Future anxiety as a predictor of the fear of childbirth
2017
Lęk przed porodem jest zjawiskiem emocjonalnym, którego łagodnych objawów doświadcza większość kobiet, niezależnie od stanu i etapu ciąży. Lęk przed porodem jest zmienną według większości badań oddziałującą na decyzje prokreacyjne, przebieg ciąży i porodu. Lęk przed porodem jako zmienna silnie wpływa na deklarowanie chęci cesarskiego cięcia. Przebadano grupę (N = 350) polskich kobiet, które były zapraszane do badań poprzez przychodnie ginekologiczne. Kobiety wypełniały ankietę mierzącą następujące konstrukty: lęk przed porodem (Putyński, 1997), lęk przed przyszłością (Zaleski, 1996), orientację temporalną (Zimbardo i Boyd, 1999) oraz metryczkę mierzącą zmienne położnicze i demograficzne.

Prospettiva temporale e processi di apprendimento nella didattica universitaria. Uno studio trasversale
2022
Nell’ambito del progetto di ricerca dipartimentale Tempo e tempi dell’educazione (PIACERI 2020), il contributo presenta gli esiti di un’indagine volta ad analizzare la possibile correlazione tra prospettiva temporale e stili di apprendimento negli scenari della didattica universitaria a distanza e della didattica digitale integrata. In particolare, scopo della ricerca è indagare la possibile correlazione tra le mutate condizioni della didattica universitaria, a seguito della pandemia da Sars-CoV2, e la capacità di studentesse e studenti di progettare il loro futuro L’indagine è stata condotta presso il Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università degli Studi di Catania su un cam…
Does Attentional Style Moderate the Relationship between Time Perspective and Social Network Addiction? A Cross-Sectional Study on a Sample of Social…
2021
The present study investigates the role of attentional style as a moderator variable between temporal perspective and social network addiction, since little is known about users’ cognitive variables involved in this kind of addictive behavior. To achieve this goal, a sample of 186 volunteers and anonymous social networking sites users (M = 34%; F = 66%; Mage = 22.54 years; SD = 3.94; range: 18 ÷ 45 years) participated in a cross-sectional study. All participants filled out self-report instruments measuring temporal perspective, internal vs. external attentional style, and social network addiction. The results align with the previous literature and show that present fatalistic and past negat…
Personal goal orientations and subjective well-being of adolescents
2012
The present study examines the types of orientation that can be identified according to the personal goals of adolescents, and how these orientations differ in their subjective well-being. In the context of the person-oriented approach, 1144 17-year-olds (565 girls, 579 boys) filled in the revised Little's personal project analysis, school burnout, depression, life satisfaction, and self-esteem inventories. Four goal orientations emerged from this data with cluster analysis: (1) property (40%), (2) vocation (24%), (3) social relationships and future education (23%), and (4) self-focused (13%) orientations. Boys were the majority in the property and the vocation orientations, whereas girls d…
When satisfied consumers do not return: Variety seeking’s effect on short- and long-term intentions
2012
Even satisfied consumers frequently do not come back, which challenges loyalty theory and marketing practice. It is reasoned that variety-seeking tendencies will significantly affect short-term revisit intentions, whereas satisfaction and regret will mostly determine long-term revisit intentions. Thus, the influence of satisfaction on loyalty is hypothesized to be critically dependent on the time perspective of the intentions, now or later, and variety seeking. A representative survey (N = 400) in eight Spanish cities supported these predictions. Multivariate moderated-mediation analyses revealed that indeed the influence of satisfaction, regret, and variety seeking critically depends on th…
Differences in the Psychological Profiles of Elite and Non-elite Athletes.
2021
One of the main goals of sport psychology is to identify those psychological factors that are relevant for sport performance as well as possibilities of their development. The aim of the study was to determine whether the set of specific psychological characteristics [generalized self-efficacy, time perspective, emotional intelligence (EI), general achievement motivation, and personality dimensions] makes the distinction between athletes based on their (non)-participation in the senior national team, that is, their belonging to the subsample of elite or non-elite athletes depending on this criterion. According to the group centroids it can be said that elite athletes are characterized by a …
