Future Time Perspective as a Transdiagnostic Protective Construct: A Bifactor Analysis

We will explore whether the future time perspective scores can predict the mental health issues assessed among participants at wave 8 of the z-proso database, including the constructs measured by the adapted version of Social Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ; ADHD symptoms, externalizing symptoms covering aggression and conduct problems; internalizing symptoms covering anxiety, depression, self-harm, anger), psychosis-like symptoms, and substance abuse. Findings of this study will provide evidence on the extent to which future orientation is a transdiagnostic predictor of mental health symptoms and thus an efficient target for mental health interventions.
