TI  - Some factors influencing perceived goal distance in time: a preliminary check.
PG  - 175-82
AB  - Perceived goal distance in time (PgD) is assumed to be influenced by (a) physical 
      distance in time, (b) the individual's future-time orientation (FTO), (c) 
      perceived intrinsic instrumentality of activity (PiI), and (d) the importance of 
      the goal. The results, based on pupils (159 boys and 151 girls) in Grades 7, 8, 
      and 9, showed that pupils high in future-time orientation (FTO) and perceived 
      intrinsic instrumentality of activity (PiI), perceived any temporal distance 
      (PgD) as shorter than those who were low in these variables. However, the most 
      significant determinant of perceived goal distance in time (PgD), in addition in 
      physical distance in time, was the importance of the future goal; a very 
      important goal being perceived a much closer than an unimportant goal.
