Future Time Perspectives of College Students in America and in India

Meade, Robert D.

Journal of Social Psychology, 83, 2, 175-182, Apr 71

Fifty male students from India and 50 male American College students were asked to write essays in which events in the future could be discussed. Results indicated that Americans are more future oriented and that Indians are more past oriented. Americans indicated more concern with personal efforts in their work thus revealing a differential in achievement motivation. (CB)
