Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to research the connections between time perspective and values of university students. The following investigative methods were used: The Zimbardo TimePerspective Inventory (ZTPI) and Schwartz’s Portraits Value Questionnaire (PVQ-21). The group consisted of 127 students of Pedagogical University in Cracow. The results obtained show connections between temporal orientation and the values esteemed by the students. A positive correlation was found between Present-Hedonistic scale and following values: Hedonism, Stimulation and Self-direction, and negative correlation with Benevolence and Tradition. The Future perspective was positively associated with Conformity, Tradition, Achievements, Self-direction and Universalism, and negatively with Hedonism. Past-Positive is positively connected with Conformity and Tradition. Past-Negative - positively with Power and negatively with Stimulation and Self-direction.
