MARTINEZ URIBE, Patricia. Future perspective of Peru and level of satisfaction with him. Liberabit [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.12, pp.113-121. ISSN 1729-4827.

This research explores the wishes of a group of citizens for the future of Peru, what their attitudes towards the future, present and past of the country are and the level of satisfaction with it. 482 men and women, between 15 and 80 years old were surveyed. They belonged to three socioeconomic strata. An adaptation of the Motivational Induction Method, the Temporal Attitudes Scale of Nuttin and an adaptation of Diener SWL Scale were used in the investigation. Findings revealed that citizens’ wishes for the country are mainly of peace, justice, honesty and better life conditions; they feel dissatisfied with the country and display a cautious attitude towards the future, although feeling some hope related to current times.

Keywords : Future time perspective; Satisfaction with life; Temporal atittudes.
