Time perspective and health

A.N.La Roche and A. Frankel

Department of Psychology, Salve Regina The Newport College, Newport, Rl 02840, USA

Two studies were conducted to determine the relationship, if any, between time perspective (present versus future orientation) and physical and psychological health. In the first study future-oriented persons reported more physical ailments than present–oriented persons (P < 0.01). In the second study, future–oriented persons in dicated they were more anxious on measures of manifest anxiety (P < 0.01) and physical anxiety (P < 0.05), as well as more depressed (P < 0.01), than present– oriented persons. Possible explanations for these results are discussed.
