Future Time perspective and its relationship to subjective well being

Abstract

The study aimed at revealing the relationship between the future time perspective and subjective wellbeing in the light of gender and educational level. The future time perspective scale (Albareki, 2010) and the subjective wellbeing (Communs, 2003) were applied on a sample of (103) high school and university students. The results reached a positive correlation between the Future Time perspective and subjective wellbeing. There were also significant differences on the scale of the future time perspective in the sample due to gender in favour of females in the overall degree and after heading towards the future whereas there were no significant differences attributable to the variable educational level.
