■心态差,或者缺乏对自我和他人心理状态的反思能力,思想,和感情,在单独的研究中,时间透视偏差都与精神障碍和较低的幸福感有关。扩大一项先前的研究,我们研究了心态化和时间视角的关系,包括一种称为平衡时间视角偏差(DBTP)的度量,该度量总结了过去的时间视角偏差,present,和未来的时间框架。
■258名参与者的便利样本回答了反射功能问卷(RFQ-8)的一个版本和Zimbardo时间透视清单(S-ZTPI)的六维版本。鉴于最近的证据表明,RFQ的原始双因素结构可能需要重新考虑,作为第一步,我们使用验证性因素分析(CFA)来比较RFQ的替代模型.
■根据最近的几项研究,CFA赞成RFQ-8的单一模型,反映出超中心化(或不确定性)。总分显示与过去阴性显著相关,现在的宿命论,和S-ZTPI的未来负面维度,而低定位与未来阳性呈负相关。最感兴趣的是,DBTP和低定位显示出强正相关(潜在结构的r=0.64;调整后的模型中r=0.62)。
■从平衡时间的角度来看,偏差与低中心化密切相关。需要进一步的研究来检查发现的普遍性(例如,专注于他人的心态度量),并提供对该链接的理论基础的更好理解。开发中潜在的共享协会(例如,依恋风格)和正念,在这方面,这可能会影响时间视角和心态。
UNASSIGNED: Poor mentalization, or lack of capacity to reflect on self and others in terms mental states, thoughts, and feelings, and time perspective biases were both related to mental disorders and lower wellbeing in separate studies. Expanding one prior study, we examined the relationship of mentalization and time perspective, including a measure known as deviations from the balanced time perspective (DBTP) that summarizes time perspective biases across the past, present, and
future time frames.
UNASSIGNED: A convenience sample of 258 participants responded to a version of the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ-8) and a six-dimensional version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (S-ZTPI). Given recent evidence that the original two-factor structure of the RFQ may need to be reconsidered, we used confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) to compare alternative models for RFQ as a first step.
UNASSIGNED: In line with several recent studies, the CFA favored a unitary model of RFQ-8 reflecting hypomentalization (or uncertainty). The total score showed significant associations with Past Negative, Present Fatalistic, and
Future Negative dimensions of S-ZTPI, while hypomentalization was negatively associated with
Future Positive. Of major interest, DBTP and hypomentalization showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.64 for latent constructs; r = 0.62 in an adjusted model).
UNASSIGNED: Deviations from the balanced time perspective were substantially related to hypomentalization. Further research is required to examine the generalizability of the finding (e.g., to measures of mentalization focused on others) and to provide a better understanding of the theoretical basis of the link. Potentially shared associations in development (e.g., attachment style) and mindfulness, that may influence both time perspective and mentalization is of interest in this regard.
