Oral · Mind Under Pressure: Stress, Trauma & Resilience

In this symposium, researchers examined the association of time constructs in adolescents from Chile, Peru, and Turkey, and emerging adults from Uruguay. They found that time constructs predict well-being and psychopathology in theoretically congruent ways. The findings highlight the importance of individuals’ time perspective in work on risk and resiliency.
