Research has shown the importance of prospective thinking in the understanding of individual behaviour across different contexts. However, there has not been extensive attention paid to individuals’ future time perspective (FTP) in non-normative contexts, such as prison, especially using qualitative research methods. In this study, we qualitatively analyse the FTP of 16 Portuguese male prisoners, ranging in age from 24 to 51 years ( M = 35, SD = 8 (idem)) and serving sentences from one to 25 years ( M = 8.6, SD = 7.3). Through content analysis of data obtained in semi-structured interviews, four main categories emerged: life prior to prison, adaptation to prison, activities in prison, and perspectives concerning the future. Considering the primary features of FTP (content, extension, valence), we determined that prisoners develop FTP in different life domains. However, the extension and emotional valence of their FTP were influenced by the sentence time and perceived social support. The results are discussed regarding the importance of counselling and of the construction of future plans in the context of prison as relevant factors for individual adaptability.

Male Prisoners

In a study with 48 undergraduate students (24 male, 24 female) two forms of the Future Events Test correlated only moderately ( r = 0.43). In a further study, with offenders, using Form II of the test 40 male prisoners (25 Europeans, 15 Maoris) had a lower mean score than did 40 male parolees (25 Europeans, 15 Maoris) but the difference was significant for Maoris only. This suggests that the effects of imprisonment may be greater for Maoris than Europeans by inducing a foreshortening of future time perspective.

The Future

We are now living in digital age. Almost all activities are carried out using digital technology devices. Various information and knowledge are saved in digital devices. Therefore, anyone who lives in the present and the future should have adequate digital literacy. This study aims to determine the level of digital literacy, future time perspective, and the self-confidence of prospective vocational school graduates in entering the job market. In addition, this study also intends to answer whether there is an influence of digital literacy and future time perspective on the self-confidence of prospective vocational school graduates entering the job market. This research revealed that the digital literacy level of prospective vocational school graduates is at a moderate level, the future time perspective is at a good level, and the level of self-confidence entering the job market is at a good level. Mediated by a future time perspective, digital literacy indirectly affects the self-confidence of prospective vocational school graduates in entering the job market. There is no significant relationship between digital literacy and confidence in entering the job market. Thus, digital literacy--future time perspective--self-confidence in entering the job market is a pathway used to prepare prospective vocational school graduates to enter the job market. Vocational schools are directed to develop real programs to increase students' digital literacy to encourage the growth of self-confidence of prospective vocational school graduates in entering the job market.

Purpose When a major Russian energy provider introduced a new technology that required organisational adjustment, the company’s management was surprised by the degree of internal resistance these changes provoked. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The authors took reference to the work on readiness to change and studied how the future time perspective, which connects with early writings by Lewin (1942), would explain the attitudes and behaviour of 148 managers. Findings The findings indicate that only a small number of employees perceived the future as offering many opportunities and showed willingness to pursue them. The majority of employees are either fearful of future changes, or do not have a strong sense of belonging to the company and hence are disinterested in prospective opportunities within the firm. Originality/value The different constructs of the future introduce an emic perspective to the study of organisational change and answer calls to enrich the measurements that are currently in use.
