TEMPORAL EXPERIENCE AS A COMPONENT OF SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING
TEMPORAL EXPERIENCE AS A COMPONENT OF SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING

Summary/Abstract: Temporal experience is a psychological concept which represents a person’s manner of relating to time. It reflects the person’s way of using time at a behavioral and cognitive level. Thus, this concept implies the use of time management techniques and the defining of several long term personal objectives as efficient temporal experience, and procrastination and temporal pressure as inefficient temporal experience. In this study we aimed at identifying the relationship between temporal experience and social problem solving. We considered that the temporal constructs will explain much of the variance of the problem solving variables. A sample of 158 participants was used (mean age was 31.46 years). Our results showed that time management and especially long term personal orientation constitute important factors of social problem solving.
