摘要：AbstractThe goal of this research was to explore the presumed relations between human values and Time Perspective (TP) concept and then to test the moderation efect of age category over those correlation that proved statically significant. Five general human factors of values (Status and Wealth, Spirituality and Religiosity, Adventure, Organization and Family and Intimate relationships) were assessed using the Romanian Inventory of Values. The Romanian version of Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory – ZTPI (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999) was then applied. The both measurements were collected from a sample of 183 persons, divided in two distinct groups of ages. Significant correlations were found between human values factors and TP. The hierarchical regression models confirmed the moderator effect of age category over many of the relations discovered initially between human values and TP facets. In conclusion, the human values an individual has acquired along his/her life seems to become a predictor of the preferred TP, but the power of prediction is often controlled by the age category.
