传统上，多时性被定义为一种行为形式，即一个人在同一时间段内从事两项或两项以上活动，而当一个人一次从事一项活动时，就会发生单时性。这些概念在关于“时间个性”、在家工作时间和技术对时间的影响的讨论中变得越来越重要。多年性的其他潜在维度也存在，例如对是否合并活动的偏好和感觉。为了反映这一更复杂的观点，需要对一个人的多慢性-单慢性总体趋势进行有效的、最新的衡量。本研究是对1991年引入的多慢性病态度指数(PAI)的重新探讨和推广。在目前的研究计划中，我们提出、开发和验证了一个一般性的五项综合“反思性”单因素扩展模型。采用验证性因子分析方法，构建了一般的多时-单时倾向模型。由该模型得到的五项总和量表称为多慢单慢性倾向量表(PMTS)。一系列五个独立的研究被用来对社会期望反应偏差、内部一致性、判别效度和法理效度进行不同的测试。PAI在统计上也与PMTS进行了比较，后者显然更强。对研究结果和研究意义进行了讨论。
Polychronicity has traditionally been defined as a form of behavior wherein a person engages in two or more activities during the same block of time, while monochronicity occurs when a person engages in one activity at a time. These concepts have become increasingly relevant in discussions of `time personality', worktime in the home, and technological impacts on time. Other underlying dimensions of polychronicity also exist, such as preferences and feelings towards whether to combine activities or not. In order to reflect this more complex perspective, a validated, updated measure of a person's polychronic—monochronic overall tendency is needed. The present study is a re-inquiry and extension of the Polychronic Attitude Index (PAI), introduced in 1991. In the current research plan we propose, develop, and validate a general five-item comprehensive `reflective' single factor extended model. The general Polychronic—Monochronic Tendency Model is constructed using confirmatory factor analysis. The five-item summated scale from this model is named the Polychronic—Monochronic Tendency Scale (PMTS). A series of five separate studies were used to variously test for social desirability response bias, internal consistency, discriminant validity, and nomological validity. The PAI is also compared statistically to PMTS with the latter being clearly stronger. A discussion of the results and research implications are presented.
