The Bachelor thesis tries to look at the problem of time perspective from the point of view of qualitative research and to find out how time perspective will be manifested in the testimonies of individuals about their own life or the life of strangers. The theoretical part focuses on the introduction of time perspective and its research. It also describes the reason for researching time perspective in adolescence and describes several influential theories about time perspective. They are the personality-motivational concept by J. Nuttin, the theory of the future perspective by T. Gjesme and the theory of perspective orientation by I. Pavelková. Most attention is devoted to P. Zimbardo's theory, which is also the basis for the carried-out research. The empirical part focuses mainly on the presentation of results from the research.

Negative Time Perspective in Adolescents and its relationship with the attachement
Kocourek, David ; Lukavská, Kateřina (advisor) ; High, Radka (referee)
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of negative time perspective in adolescent age in connection with attachment style. In the theoretical introduction, both concepts are presented: (1) Zimbard's concept of time perspective, (2) Bowlby's and Ainsworth's attachment theory. The empirical part deals with the statistical analysis of the possible connection between the negative time perspective and the anxiety / evasive type of attachment bond. On the data found in the S-ZTPI and ECR questionnaires on two sets of respondents: (1) graduate students and (2) university students, I conducted a descriptive statistical analysis, the t-tests to compare two files and calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed a strong relationship between the anxiety attachment style and the overall negative time perspective. Another finding was that women score more prominently on the scale of anxiety than men. Given that collections of graduates and undergraduates were not gender balanced, I could not make any conclusions about the differences in the negative time perspective between groups of undergraduates and graduates. Keywords: Time Perspective, Negative Time Perspective, ZTPI, adolescence, attachment, ECR
