In this study, we translated the Adolescent Time Inventory-Time Attitudes (ATI-TA) scale into Japanese and examined the internal consistency and structural and convergent validity of ATI-TA scores in a sample of 383 Japanese high school students aged 15 to 18 years. The ATI-TA consists of six subscales assessing two valences (positive and negative) for each of three time periods (past, present, and future). Internal consistency estimates for scores on the ATI-TA were over .79. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a six-factor model yielded the best fit to scores. Correlations among ATI-TA scores, time attitudes assessed by the semantic differential method, educational career planning, and self-esteem were consistent with our hypotheses. Our results provide evidence that scores on the Japanese version of the ATI-TA are reliable and valid, and thus potentially useful for research in this cultural context.
在这项研究中，我们将青少年时间投入量表-时间态度（ATI-TA）翻译成日语，并在一个由 383 名 15 至 18 岁日本高中生组成的样本中检验了 ATI-TA 评分的内部一致性、结构和收敛效度。ATI-TA 由六个分量表组成，评估了三个时间段（过去、现在和未来）的两种效价（积极和消极）。ATI-TA 评分的内部一致性估计值超过.79。验证性因素分析表明，六因素模型最适合评分。ATI-TA 评分与语义差异法评估的时间态度、教育职业规划和自尊之间的相关性与我们的假设一致。我们的结果表明，ATI-TA 的日语版本的评分是可靠和有效的，因此在这种文化背景下的研究中可能有用。
