Using an online survey, we recruited 1483 participants Italian mandatory lockdown. Multiple regressions analysis showed that strongly predicted well-being, depression, stress. Participants highly oriented on Positive Future had higher while Negative lower well-being. Regarding DBTP, who greatly deviated optimal temporal balance reported were more distressed. impact of traits, extraversion neuroticism factors better explained level stress, whereas levels associated with depression. Finally, DBTP was a significant moderator in relationships Implications for time-perspective theory practical contributions discussed.

Individuals with balanced, future, past positive perspective had better less likely exhibit symptoms depression. Persons negative, present hedonistic fatalistic more have worse exhibited signs results indicate that persons focused on long-term planning for their lives generally endured isolation easily.

Past research has shown that culture can form and shape our temporal orientation–the relative emphasis on the past, present, or future. However, there are mixed findings how orientations vary between North American East Asian cultures due to limitations of survey methodology sampling. In this study, we applied an inductive approach leveraged big data natural language processing two popular social media platforms–Twitter Weibo–to assess similarities differences in orientation United States America China, respectively. We first established predictive models from annotation used them classify a larger set English Twitter sentences (N TW = 1,549,136) Chinese Weibo WB 95,181) into four catetories–past, future, atemporal present. Results show is no significant difference past future orientations; large Americans derives their different prevailing focus (e.g., facts, ideas) present (Twitter) “here” “now”) (Weibo). Our contribute debate cultural with new perspectives following methodological approach. The study’s implications call for reevaluation measured cross-cultural studies, emphasizing use large-scale acknowledging category. Understanding guide effective communication strategies tailor approaches audience based orientations, enhancing intercultural understanding engagement.
