Abstract
BARRERA-HERNANDEZ, Laura Fernanda; CORRAL-VERDUGO, Víctor and FRAIJO-SING, Blanca Silvia. Transcendental future as a determinant of sustainable behavior and the perception of happiness. CES Psicol [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.1, pp.2-15. Epub Nov 05, 2021. ISSN 2011-3080. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.14.1.2.
Time perspective is a psychological variable that has been associated it with multiple behaviors, including sustainable behaviors. Research on transcendental future perspective is scarce, among the studies on temporal perspective and sustainable behavior, none were found on the relationship between transcendental future and SC.
Objective:
this research was aimed at assessing the relationship between two-time perspectives (future orientation, transcendent future orientation) and sustainable behavior, and its association with self-care and happiness.
Method:
a correlational study was developed, with a non-experimental, transactional design. Two hundred nine people from a northwestern city in Mexico participated, with an average age of 30.33 years, who responded to an instrument that consisted of eight Likert scales that evaluated future perspective, transcendental future temporal perspective, pro-ecological behavior, altruism, frugality, equity, self-care behaviors, and subjective happiness.
Results:
the results were processed within a structural equation model, where it is emphasized that temporal orientations to the future and to the transcendental future influence sustainable behaviors (pro-ecological behavior, altruism, frugality, equity), which, in turn, impact on the happiness and self-care of people.
Conclusion:
these findings provide valuable information that helps elucidate the characteristics of an individual who guides his behavior to sustainability ideals.
