| Popis: | Financial capability incorporates skills, behavior, and knowledge in five areas: making ends meet,keeping track, planning ahead, choosing products, and staying informed. People should understand how to managetheir money, use credit, choose insurance, pay taxes, and save for emergencies, long-term financial security,and development (Atkinson et al., 2006). Time Perspective is a basic psychological dimension of time. Timeperspective is used both in temporal coding and collecting and remembering events, as well as in the formation ofexpectations, objectives and imaginary scenarios. Results of several studies confirm that types of Time Perspectiveare significantly linked to several important aspects of human functioning (Przepiorka et al., 2016). The aim ofthis study is to explore the relationship between time perspective and financial capability. Data were collected in2017 in Ankara, Çankaya district, Turkey. In this study, the total number of participants was determined usinga random sampling method, and 513 participants completed the survey. About half (50.7%) of the sample werewomen; 49.3% were men. The average age of the participant’s was 31.2 (SD = 12.09). More than half (59.1%) ofthe sample were single. This research finds that domains of time perspective were significantly related to financialcapability except past-positive and present-hedonistic. Participants who focused a generally negative, aversiveview of the past (past-negative) and a fatalistic, helpless, and hopeless attitude toward the future and life (presentfatalistic)were negatively associated financial capability. Participants who focused a general future orientation(future-orientation) were positively associated financial capability |
