      Pozolotina, Tatiana; Olsen, Svein Ottar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-08)
      The present study investigated the link between consideration of immediate and future consequences (CFC-I and CFC-F), and perceived change in the future self (PCFS) to healthy and unhealthy behaviors. Furthermore, we explored the moderation effect of PCFS on the relationship between CFC-I and CFC-F and health behaviors. We observed that CFC-I was linked to unhealthy behaviors, whereas CFC-F was ...
    • General vs health-specific consideration of immediate and future consequences to predict eating and exercise behavior in a Norwegian student population: A randomized survey experiment 

      Pozolotina, Tatiana; Olsen, Svein Ottar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)
      Over several decades, the consideration of future consequences (CFC) construct has been used to explain and predict health behaviors. However, the reported associations between CFC and health behaviors are relatively weak, leading to the low explanatory power of the models. Recent research suggests that CFC can be a domain-specific construct. In this study, we explored the psychometric properties ...
    • Present and future temporal profiles and their relationship to health intentions and behaviors: A test on a Norwegian general population sample 

      Pozolotina, Tatiana; Olsen, Svein Ottar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-13)
      We investigated the temporal profiles of a Norwegian general population sample and their relation to health behaviors and intentions. The profiles were based on variables from the present and future dimensions of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS), and the combination of both scales. The analysis revealed that there were only two ...
