RESUMEN
Abarcando ampliamente el concepto percepción del tiempo, las dimensiones pasado positivo, pasado negativo, presente fatalista, presente hedonista y futuro son agrupadas en perfiles para evaluar relaciones con salud física y mental. Utilizando un diseño cuasi-experimental, 50 sujetos igualados en sexo y edad responden el inventario ZTPI y el SF-36, junto a 3 medidas de estimación del tiempo. Correlaciones de Pearson y ANOVA muestran relaciones significativas entre las dimensiones, salud física, mental y estimación. Se obtienen tres perfiles, siendo el equilibrado (BTP) quien presenta mejores indicadores de salud. Estos resultados apoyan la idea que es favorable un equilibrio entre actitud positiva del pasado, orientación al futuro, disfrutando experiencias agradables presentes. Se comentan influencias de estimación del tiempo en salud.
ABSTRACT
With a broad understanding of time perception, the dimensions positive past, negative past, fatalistic present, hedonistic present and future were grouped in profiles to assess relations with physical and mental health. Using a quasi-experimental design, 50 subjects matched for age and sex completed the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and the SF-36, with 3 measures of time estimation. Pearson correlations and ANOVA showed significant relationships between dimensions, physical and mental health, and estimation. Three profiles were obtained, with the balanced one (BTP) having the best health indicators. These results support the idea that it is good to have a balanced profile that implies a positive attitude to the past, future orientation, and enjoying pleasant experiences. Also, health is influenced by time estimation.
