Resum

Zimbardo's time perspective theory (1999) provides a classification of the dimensions of time perspective, which can be measured with the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI). This inventory proposes that if people have a positive and balanced attitude toward the past, present, and future, they can develop greater well-being and good mental and physical health. A negative attitude can reflect unhealthy life patterns. The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of a brief group intervention to modify time perspective profiles. Research was conducted under a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample included 28 university students, 14 in the experimental group and 14 in the control group. The results show that intervention in the experimental group modified the time perspective of each participant toward a balanced time perspective profile. In conclusion, a balanced time perspective profile can be achieved with a brief group intervention that seeks to favor a positive past and a healthier present and future. Further studies should assess the impact of modifying time perspective among the clinical population.
