Mental well-being is of great importance for emotional, psychological and social functioning, particularly in adolescence, a period characterized by significant physical, social, and emotional changes. The extant literature examining the relationship between temporal attitudes and mental and psychosomatic health outcomes is increasing rapidly. Using Latent Transition Analysis (LTA) of Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory-Time Attitude Scale scores across three waves of data (N = 1667; 13-15 years; 42.0% female), we sought to examine the predictive power of time attitudes profile membership on mental well-being and psychosomatic symptomatology at distal wave four. Results indicated that staying in the Positive or Ambivalent profile was associated with more favorable distal outcomes at + 9 months; whereas staying in Negative or Moderately-Negative profile was strongly related to more somatic and psychological symptomatology, and lower mental well-being. Given the potential to modify time attitudes, these findings have several implications for interventions targeting adolescent mental and physical health.
心理健康对于情绪、心理和社会功能非常重要，尤其是在青春期，这是一个身体、社会和情感发生重大变化的时期。目前，研究时间态度与心理健康和身心症状之间关系的文献数量正在迅速增加。我们使用青少年和成人时间意向量表的潜在转变分析（LTA），对三个时间点的数据（N = 1667；年龄 13-15 岁；女性占 42.0%）进行分析，以检验时间态度特征对远端时间点四（+9 个月）心理健康和身心症状的预测作用。结果表明，保持积极或矛盾的时间态度特征与更有利的远端结果相关；而保持消极或中度消极的时间态度特征与更多的躯体和心理症状以及较低的心理健康水平密切相关。鉴于时间态度具有可改变性，这些发现对针对青少年身心健康的干预措施具有重要意义。
