A longitudinal study on changing process of time perspective in the transition from university to society for undergrauates students

时间视角是理解人类人格发展的一个关键概念。最近，日本的经济衰退非常严重。因此，阐明大学生职业选择行为与时间观之间的关系是一项非常重要的研究任务。作者进行了为期三年的纵向调查，考察了职业选择行为、时间观、自我效能感。包括约500名日本本科生和研究生在内的三个队列参与了这项研究。结果表明，实际职业选择和求职行为存在纵向变化。同时也证实了大学生实际求职行为与时间观，尤其是时间观的基本认知能力之间存在正相关关系。在从大学进入社会的过程中，一些学生获得了时间管理和计划能力，使他们的时间观变得更加积极。接下来的任务是运用大学生职业发展与时间观关系的逻辑因果模型对这些数据进行分析。
