Resumen
The Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory – ZTPI (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999) is composed by a fi ve factors scale (past positive, past negative, present hedonist, present fatalist and future) that evaluates time perspective in a multidimensional manner which, in this way, surpasses one of the limitations of past instruments. The aim of this study is to analyze the factorial structure of the ZTPI’s Portuguese version using a sample of 277 Portuguese college students, with ages between 18 and 53 years old (M = 22, SD = 5.43). Five factors were encountered, that explain 35.25% of total variance. These results are much alike the one obtained by Zimbardo and Boyd (1999), in the original instrument publication
