Sircova, Anna; van de Vijver, Fons J. R.; Osin, Evgeny; Milfont, Taciano L.; Fieulaine, Nicolas; Kislali-Erginbilgic, Altinay; Zimbardo, Philip G.In this article, we assess the structural equivalence of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) across 26 samples from 24 countries (N = 12,200). The ZTPI is proven to be a valid and reliable index of individual differences in time perspective across five temporal categories: Past Negative, Past Positive, Present Fatalistic, Present Hedonistic, and Future. We obtained evidence for invariance of 36 items...
