Abstract
The present research investigates the correlation between Time Perspective and individual Adjustment levels using correlational research design with stratified random sampling. Five distinct Time Perspectives, Present Hedonistic, Past Positive, Past Negative, Present Fatalistic, and Future, are examined alongside psychological adjustment as the primary variables of interest. Through scrupulous analysis, it was observed that individuals with Present Hedonistic, Past Positive and Future perspectives exhibit higher levels of correlation with Adjustment than those with Past Negative and Present Fatalistic perspectives. These findings illuminate the complex dynamics between Time Perspective and psychological adjustment, identifying possible causative factors for development of time perspectives and effects observed by certain time perspectives upon mental health of individuals illuminating adjustment and life satisfaction in individuals, and offering insights for interventions aimed at promoting adaptive coping mechanisms and fostering enhanced mental health outcomes among diverse populations
