Despite extensive research on TP ER, joint impact, particularly in context of anxiety, cultural differences remain underexplored. Participants (N = 513 Iranian, N 470 Turkish) completed self-report questionnaires perspective, symptoms. A moderated mediation model was assessed, incorporating exogenous variable DBTP, ER as mediators, endogenous variables depressive anxiety The accounted for variations paths a moderator. Significant associations were found between strategies, depression, Mediation analyses revealed that both (except adaptive strategies) significantly mediated DBTP Additionally, multigroup suggested these mediating effects consistent across Iranian Turkish samples, exceptions strategies. study highlights crucial role TPs predicting symptoms, notable nuances. Specifically, exacerbate while mitigate them primarily contexts. Cultural subtleties are discussed detail.

The Time Perspective (TP) theory (i.e., the psychological experience regarding time) was often examined in association with different addictive behaviors, and TPs Past Positive, Negative, Present Hedonistic, Fatalistic, Future TPs) demonstrated relationship patterns them. However, most studies were conducted relation to substance use-related disorders, leaving crucial knowledge gaps concerning associations between potential behavioral addictions. aim of present study examine five TP dimensions, hypersexuality, problematic pornography use (PPU), considering gender differences. Participants from two independent samples (N1 = 554; N2 453) completed a self-report survey on sexual behaviors. Structural equation modeling results indicated that Hedonistic had positive, moderate, negative, weak hypersexuality both samples. Only significant, weak-to-moderate PPU across explained variances models higher case (28 27%, respectively), than (1 14%, respectively). No significant differences observed. In line previous findings other predictors PPU, suggest may differ each terms their background. Yet, hedonism, which is related impulsivity, play an important role suggesting interventions focusing this might be successful reducing PPU.

Drawing person–culture matching hypothesis, we test moderating effects relationship between role stressors and both psychological strain organizational outcomes among Indian employees India ( n = 253). Two smaller comparison groups Asian Indians US-born Americans USA were also evaluated anchor understanding Indians’ score PNTP. This particularly important given pressures globalization India’s culture have created sustained sense uncertainty for Indians. Results indicate mean greater than 56) US-Indians 69). Furthermore, having low intensified adverse due stressors, whereas had no further impact.
