الإسهام النسبي لأبعاد منظور زمن المستقبل في التنبؤ بالرضا عن الحياة

Abstract EN

Objectiv : The study aimed at revealing the relationship between future time perspective and life satisfaction in the light of some variables.

Methods : The study sample consisted of (272) participants aged between 19-75 years, with an average age of (40.43) years and with a standard deviation (18.08).

The abbreviated version of the (Brothers et al., 2014) scale to measure the dimensions of the future time perspective, and Jaber & Menshed's scale (2015) to measure the level of life satisfaction were used.

Results : The study results indicated that the sample of the study was divided into the dimensions of the perspective of the future time as follows : after the open time (110), after the limited time (85), after the mysterious time (77), and the level of satisfaction with life among the sample was moderate.

The results also showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the level of respondents to the dimensions of the perspective of the future time due to the variable of gender.

However, a significant difference was found, due to the variable of income level over the limited period and the mysterious time, in favor of low income, over high income.

Moreover, a statistically significant difference was found, in favor of early adulthood over old age in the limited time, and in favor of old age over middle age.

No statistically significant difference was found in the level of responses of sample members regarding the variable of life satisfaction, by the variable of gender.

Regarding life satisfaction in relation to the variable of income among middle- and low-income people, it revealed a statistically significant difference in favor of the low income in comparison with high income, and a significant difference was found between ages in favor of the middle age.

It also showed that the dimensions of the perspective of the future time interpreted (11.1%) of the variation in life satisfaction variations.
