Abstract
Time Perspective, Life Satisfaction and Social Comparison Orientation in University Students
The aim of this study was to examine the predictive power of time perspective for the life satisfaction and social comparison in university students. The participants (n= 441; 321 female and 120 male) are undergraduate students at a state university. The data of the study were collected through the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, The Satisfaction with Life Scale and IOWA-Netherlands Social Comparison Orientation Measure. In order to determine the prediction power of the time perspective for the life satisfaction and social comparison, standard multiple regression analysis was used. According to the results of this study, past-positive and future predict life satisfaction positively; past-negative predicts life satisfaction negatively. In addition, past-negative predicts social comparison orientation negatively.
