抄録

The purpose of the present study was to clarify the effect of the time perspective upon apathy tendency in an internal and external group of locus of control. A questionnaire of the locus of control scale (Kambara et al., 1982), experiential time perspective scale (Shirai, 1994), and apathy tendency scale (Tetsushima, 1993) were administered to 165 university students (78 males and 87 females). Multiple regression analysis was applied to the data. The main results were summarized as follows: (1) The influence of locus of control upon future time perspective (goal-directedness, hopefulness) was significant ; (2) The influence of future time perspective upon apathy tendency was significant ; (3) Between internal and external control groups of locus of control, the influence of future time perspective upon apathy tendency was found significant in only the internal group.
