Future Time Perspective and Motivation
Theory and Research Method
Publication Information
First published in 1985.
Content Overview
The present volume is a theoretical and methodological supplement to the Nuttin's book Motivation, planning and action: A relational theory of behaviour dynamics, in which he showed that behaviour dynamics in man, due to their interaction with higher cognitive functioning, are processed into goals and means-end structures—that is behavioural projects or plans.
Main Purpose
The main purpose of the theoretical section of this book is to contribute to the integration of the future time dimension on the study of human motivation and behaviour.
Methodology
The main part is then devoted to a two-step method for studying the content and density of a person's future time perspective and for measuring its depth or extension.
