Abstract

This study aimed to validate the Persian version of the future time perspective (FTP) Questionnaire, a factor impacting psychological well-being, for use in Iranian society. 367 randomly selected students (20-30 years old) from Tehran universities participated. The questionnaire by Brothers, Chiu, and Diehl (2014), with 12 questions and three subscales, was employed alongside the Hope scale by Snyder et al. (1991). Exploratory factor analysis revealed three subscales: opportunities, limitations, and ambiguities, explaining 61.18% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha for the components was 0.80, 0.77, and 0.82, indicating internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis affirmed model fit. Convergent validity displayed a significant correlation between FTP and the Hope scale. Results suggest the Persian FTP questionnaire's validity and reliability for psychological interventions and studies among Iranian college students.
