The Ant and the Grasshopper: adolescents’ time perspective, satisfaction with life and the mediating role of hope
The present study examined the predictive role played by the three time perspective’s
dimensions (Present-Hedonistic, Present-Fatalistic and Future) on the satisfaction
with life and the mediational role of hope in adolescence, using cross-sectional data.
Participants were 675 adolescents (333 males and 342 females), with a mean age of
17.4 years (SD = .84). Adolescents lived in Rome and its surroundings regions and
attended the 3th or the 4th year of high school. A structural equation modeling was used.
