Abstract

Trait future time perspective measures the extent to which behaviour is dominated by a striving for future goals and rewards. Trait present time perspective measures orientation towards immediate pleasure. Previous research has explored the relationship between future and present time perspective an...

Previous research has explored the relationship between future and present time perspective and BMI with mixed findings.

Self-report time perspective (ZTPI), self-control (SCS) and height/weight data were collected using an online survey from a mixed student and community sample (N=218) with wide ranging age (mean 29, SD 11, range 18-73 years) and BMI (mean 24, SD 4, range 15-43). The results of a structural equation model including both facets of time perspective suggested that the traits are related yet distinct measures that independently predict BMI through changes in self-control. Bootstrap mediation analysis showed that self-control mediated the relationship between both future time perspective (95% CI, -.10 to -.02) and present time perspective (95% CI, .03 to .17), and BMI in opposite directions. Participants with higher future time perspective scores (higher present time perspective scores) had higher (lower) self-control, which predicted lower (higher) BMI. These results are consistent with previous research suggesting an important role for time perspective in health outcomes. Self-control likely mediates the relationship between temporal perspectives and BMI, suggesting that time perspective may be a target for individualised interventions.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Appetite</journal><volume>108</volume><paginationStart>156</paginationStart><paginationEnd>160</paginationEnd><publisher>Elsevier</publisher><issnPrint>01956663</issnPrint><keywords>Time perspective; Self-control; BMI</keywords><publishedDay>31</publishedDay><publishedMonth>1</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2017</publishedYear><publishedDate>2017-01-31</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.appet.2016.09.034</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Psychology</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>HPS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2020-09-09T08:30:40.1627783</lastEdited><Created>2018-05-11T11:01:25.9946247</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Psychology</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Menna</firstname><surname>Price</surname><orcid>0000-0002-0025-0881</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Suzanne</firstname><surname>Higgs</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Michelle</firstname><surname>Lee</surname><orcid>0000-0002-1291-5895</orcid><order>3</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>0040097-11052018110749.docx</filename><originalFilename>Price_M_Manuscriptv2.docx</originalFilename><uploaded>2018-05-11T11:07:49.8670000</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>76285</contentLength><contentType>application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document</contentType><version>Accepted Manuscript</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><embargoDate>2018-10-12T00:00:00.0000000</embargoDate><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language></document><document><filename>40097__17515__f3deb74afbc34667953870c13eff6bab.pdf</filename><originalFilename>40097.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2020-06-17T17:08:38.0645128</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>162139</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Accepted Manuscript</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
