Abstract

The exponential growth in studies demonstrating the utility of temporal psychology has been accompanied by many studies criticizing the psychometric properties of many of its assessment measures. The Adolescent (and Adult) Time Inventory-Time Attitudes Scale (AATI-TA) has been relatively immune to these criticisms. Given the increase in the use of this particular measure, we undertook a comprehensive review of studies assessing the psychometric validity and internal consistency of the AATI-TA. Computerized searches were conducted in Scopus, PsycINFO, and EMBASE databases, with 19 manuscripts ultimately retained, and data from a total of 29 samples analyzed. Results revealed that at a broad level, these analyses supported both the psychometric validity, and internal consistency of AATI-TA scores, with some minor issues identified with the Future Negative dimension. Meta-regression analyses revealed some small-sized but significant effects for age, language, and location on RMSEA, alpha values, and mean scores. However, these did not survive the Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Observed heterogeneity among studies has implications for any future creation of scale norms. Future directions for research include an exploration of the readability and appropriateness of Future Negative items, temporal stability of scores, and more psychometric studies with adult samples.

摘要

证明时间心理学效用的研究呈指数增长，伴随着许多研究批评其许多评估措施的心理测量特性。青少年（和成人）时间清单-时间态度量表 (AATI-TA) 相对不受这些批评的影响。鉴于这一特定措施的使用增加，我们对评估 AATI-TA 的心理测量效度和内部一致性的研究进行了全面审查。在 Scopus、PsycINFO 和 EMBASE 数据库中进行了计算机化搜索，最终保留了 19 篇手稿，并分析了来自总共 29 个样本的数据。结果显示，在广泛的层面上，这些分析支持 AATI-TA 分数的心理测量效度和内部一致性，与未来负面维度确定的一些小问题。元回归分析揭示了年龄、语言和位置对 RMSEA、alpha 值和平均分数的一些小规模但显着的影响。然而，这些都没有在 Benjamini-Hochberg 修正中幸存下来。观察到的研究之间的异质性对未来任何规模规范的创建都有影响。未来的研究方向包括探索未来负面项目的可读性和适当性、分数的时间稳定性以及更多对成人样本的心理测量研究。观察到的研究之间的异质性对未来任何规模规范的创建都有影响。未来的研究方向包括探索未来负面项目的可读性和适当性、分数的时间稳定性以及更多对成人样本的心理测量研究。观察到的研究之间的异质性对未来任何规模规范的创建都有影响。未来的研究方向包括探索未来负面项目的可读性和适当性、分数的时间稳定性以及更多对成人样本的心理测量研究。
