Time perspective is an under-researched social construct in Africa. We examined scores on an Amharic translation of the Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory (AATI) in a sample of 422 young adults attending two types of educational institutions in Ethiopia: preparatory school (n = 191) and university (n = 231). Results indicated that Ethiopian young adults thought about the present and the future more frequently than the past. The modal option for time orientation was present-future, and the modal options for time relation were present-future and linearly related. There were differences in the choice of time orientation options in the two school types. Although the largest group from both school types chose present-future, future and past were the second and third choices for the preparatory school students, and past and present were the second and third choices for the university students. Scores from the AATI supported a six-factor time attitudes model: past positive, past negative, present positive, present negative, future positive, and future negative. The results of this study indicate that the AATI can be used to study time perspective in Ethiopia.

使用青少年和成人时间量表(AATI)测量埃塞俄比亚年轻人的时间观点

时间观点是非洲研究不足的社会建构。我们在422名参加埃塞俄比亚两种类型的教育机构:预备学校(n = 191)和大学(n= 231)。结果表明,埃塞俄比亚年轻人对过去和现在的思考频率更高。时间定向的模态选择是当前的,时间关系的模态选择是当前的,并且是线性相关的。在两种学校类型中,时间取向选项的选择存在差异。尽管两种学校类型中最大的一组都选择了现在,但未来和过去是预科生的第二和第三选择,过去和现在是大学生的第二和第三选择。AATI的分数支持六因素时间态度模型:过去的积极,过去的消极,现在的积极,现在的消极,未来的积极和未来的消极。
