The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS-T) and examine age-group differences in the predictors of respondents' future time perspective. Data were collected from a sample of 202 young adults (aged 18-28 years) and 127 community-dwelling older adults (aged 60-86 years). The internal consistency and test-retest methods were employed to assess the reliability of the FTPS-T, and the FTPS-T's validity was assessed using construct- and criterion-related validity. The reliability and validity analyses demonstrated that the FTPS-T had satisfactory psychometric properties. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the strongest predictor of future time perspective in young adults was subjective psychological health, whereas chronological and subjective (i.e., physical) ages were stronger predictors among older adults. These findings indicate that subjective variables shape the perceptions of a lifetime, and the results are discussed in the context of socioemotional selectivity theory.
本研究旨在确定土耳其版未来时间透视量表（FTPS-T）的心理计量特性，并考察年龄组对受访者未来时间透视的预测因素的差异。数据取自 202 名年轻成年人（18-28 岁）和 127 名社区居住的老年人（60-86 岁）的样本。内部一致性和重测法被用于评估 FTPS-T 的可靠性，而结构和标准相关效度则用于评估 FTPS-T 的效度。可靠性和有效性分析表明，FTPS-T 具有令人满意的心理计量特性。多元回归分析表明，年轻成年人未来时间透视的最强预测因素是主观心理健康，而在老年人中，生理年龄和主观（即生理）年龄是更强的预测因素。这些发现表明，主观变量塑造了对一生的看法，结果在社会情感选择理论的背景下进行了讨论。
