Abstract

A measure of time attitudes, Culture of Time Inventory—33 items (COTI-33), was developed and validated in English and Russian on 560 American and 517 Russian respondents. The study aim was to examine and assess culturally relevant time attitudes that may affect performances on timed psychological and neuropsychological tests. A stable and comparable five-factor model emerged across samples, revealing the following dimensions of time attitudes: (1) planning; (2) punctuality; (3) time management; (4) event-time orientation; and (5) time-limited tests. Cultural differences emerged in COTI-33 factor scores where Americans rated planning and punctuality significantly higher than Russians. Discriminant validity of the scale was examined against the Big Five Personality Inventory. COTI-33 was established to have high reliability and construct validity and may serve as a valuable instrument for assessing the influence of time attitudes on timed psychological test performances in both clinical and non-clinical settings.

时间清单文化：俄罗斯和美国成年人对时间测试的时间态度比较

对560名美国人和517名俄罗斯人进行了英语和俄语的时间态度测量，即时间文化量表——33项（COTI-33）。这项研究的目的是检查和评估文化相关的时间态度，这些态度可能会影响定时心理和神经心理测试的表现。样本之间出现了一个稳定且可比较的五因素模型，揭示了时间态度的以下维度：（1）计划；（2）准时性；（3）时间管理；（4）事件时间取向；和（5）有时限的测试。COTI-33因素得分中出现了文化差异，美国人对计划和准时性的评分明显高于俄罗斯人。该量表的判别有效性采用五大人格量表进行检验。COTI-33具有较高的可靠性和结构有效性，可作为评估临床和非临床环境中时间态度对定时心理测试表现影响的有价值的工具。

期刊介绍： Cross-Cultural Research, formerly Behavior Science Research, is sponsored by the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) and is the official journal of the Society for Cross-Cultural Research. The mission of the journal is to publish peer-reviewed articles describing cross-cultural or comparative studies in all the social/behavioral sciences and other sciences dealing with humans, including anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, human ecology, and evolutionary biology. Worldwide cross-cultural studies are particularly welcomed, but all kinds of systematic comparisons are acceptable so long as they deal explicity with cross-cultural issues pertaining to the constraints and variables of human behavior.
