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.
Across space and time : infants learn from backward and forward visual statistics
2016
International audience; This study investigates whether infants are sensitive to backward and forward transitional probabilities within temporal and spatial visual streams. Two groups of 8-month-old infants were familiarized with an artificial grammar of shapes, comprising backward and forward base pairs (i.e. two shapes linked by strong backward or forward transitional probability) and part-pairs (i.e. two shapes with weak transitional probabilities in both directions). One group viewed the continuous visual stream as a temporal sequence, while the other group viewed the same stream as a spatial array. Following familiarization, infants looked longer at test trials containing part-pairs th…
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…
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…
Pašregulācijas stilu, tagadnes laika perspektīvu un darba intensitātes savstarpēja saistība
2017
Pētījuma “Pašregulācijas stilu, tagadnes laika perspektīvu un darba intensitātes savstarpēja saistība” mērķis bija noskaidrot kādas tagadnes laika perspektīvas un pašregulācijas stili prognozē darba intensitāti, un, vai pastāv saistība starp tagadnes laika perspektīvu, pašregulācijas stiliem un darba intensitāti. Dati tika ievākti no 148 strādājošiem cilvēkiem, kuri dzīvo dažādās Latvijas pilsētās, vecumā no 25 līdz 65 gadiem (vidējais vecums M = 38,03 gadi SD = 12,46), no kuriem 76 (51,35%) bija sievietes un 72 vīrieši (48,65%). Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas šādas metodes: Pašregulācijas stilu aptauja, Tagadnes laika perspektīvas aptauja (TLPA) un Darba intensitātes aptauja. Visas metode…
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…
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…
Social Disparities in Education in Sub-Saharan African Countries
2007
In this paper we have two complementary objectives: the first is to describe the magnitude of social disparities that exist in the systems of education of sub-Saharan African countries; we focus on recent data but we also put these data in a time perspective. The second objective is to identify some of the factors that may explain these disparities and the impact of policies aimed at their reduction.

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…
