The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of Balanced Time Perspective Scale (K-BTPS) involving undergraduate students. Typically, 663 college students (M=21.53) were recruited from several universities in Seoul, South Korea. The study sample included 271 men (32.73%) and 446 women (67.27%), randomly divided data into two groups for analysis. Data from Sample 1 (N=232) was analyzed for EFA (Explanatory Factor Analysis) and data from Sample 2 (N=431) was analyzed for CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis). The results were as follows; First, the two-factor structure of K-BTPS was applicable for use on Korean college students. Second, the K-BTPS showed moderate reliability with scales of happiness (OHQ), life satisfaction (SWLS), self-esteem (RSES) and with two subscales (ZTPI) of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. Third, the K-BTPS showed a good test-retest reliability with respect to two-week intervals. Forth, based on the mean of K-BTPS score, participants were allocated to four sub-groups as time restrictive, futurist, reminisces, and time expansive category and the relevance between balanced time perspective and other related variables were discussed. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future studies are discussed in the present work.
