We used a multidimensional model of time perspective to examine how feelings and thoughts about the past, present, and future were related to optimism and sensation seeking among young adults. The dimensions of time perspective assessed were time feelings, the positive and negative emotions one has about the past, present, and future; time frequency, the amount of thinking about each time period; and time orientation, the relative emphases toward the time periods. Optimism and sensation seeking were self-reported and participants included 463 young adults. Variable-based analyses indicated that reporting more positive and less negative feelings about the time periods or emphasizing the present and future simultaneously were associated with greater optimism. For sensation seeking, boredom susceptibility was especially associated with the time perspective dimensions. Person-centered analyses based on time feelings and time frequency yielded four profiles (i.e., Mindful, Discontent, Bleak, and Indifferent) that were associated with both optimism and sensation seeking.

我们使用时间透视的多维模型来研究关于过去，现在和未来的感受和想法与年轻人中寻求乐观和感觉的方式之间的关系。所评估的时间观点的维度是时间感觉，对过去，现在和未来的积极和消极情绪。时间频率，每个时间段的思考量；和时间取向，相对重点是时间段。自我报告的乐观和寻求感觉的方法包括463名年轻成年人。基于变量的分析表明，报告有关时间段的更多积极和更少消极感受，或同时强调当前和未来与乐观情绪相关。为了寻求感觉，无聊感特别与时间透视的维度有关。基于时间感受和时间频率的以人为中心的分析产生了与乐观和寻求感觉相关的四个特征（即，正念，不满，沮丧和冷漠）。
