Versión breve del Inventario de Perspectiva Temporal de Zimbardo para población chilenaUna comparación internacional

Abstract

Time perspective has been a topic of growing interest in the academic world, due to the relationship that has been established between this variable and elements such as subjective well-being, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, among others. The most widely used instrument for its measurement, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), has been translated and adapted for use in various countries, including the construction of short versions. The present study proposes a brief version for the Chilean population with a sample of 829 people (46.6 % men, mean age = 29.33, SD = 13.48). Making a comparison with 6 other foreign short versions available. The proposed version has 15 items, 3 for each of the 5 factors of the original version. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to check the adequacy of the model, obtaining a good fit, similar to that found by other studies. It is proposed to continue studying and improving the psychometric properties of this version, highlighting the importance of taking into account differences due to cultural factors.
