Abstract

The purpose of this study was to validate a Korean version of the Transcendental-Future Time Perspective Scale (TFTPS) from transcendental-future time perspective, meaning personal attitude, values, and beliefs toward the time after death. To this end, 682 Korean adults were administered TFTPS which was adapted through translation and back-translation. Data were examined for factor structure, reliability, and validity. First, exploratory factor analyses were conducted for a sample of 339 out of 682 Korean adults. Two factors with 9 items (mind-body dualism factor with 3 items and transcendental factor with 6 items) were obtained. Second, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted for a sample of 343 Korean adults. Results showed that the 2 factor model was adequate. Third, criterion-related validity was confirmed through time perspective, self-esteem, self-resilience, optimism, and hope. Discriminant validity was also confirmed through gender, age, and religious affiliation. Finally, implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
