Abstract

The study investigates the relationship between acculturation depression and refugee attitudes toward the temporal continuum. Methodologies include the use of the Beck Depression Scale to assess severity and the Zimbardo Time Perspectives Inventory, which consists of five scales: positive and negative past, future, and fatalistic or hedonistic present. A total of 40 respondents participated in the research, divided into two subgroups: socially active (22 individuals) and socially passive (18 individuals). The findings indicate that socially active individuals exhibited the lowest presence of depressive syndromes at 77.3%, whereas socially passive individuals displayed indicators within sub-depression categories. Regarding temporal orientation, the first group leaned towards a future-oriented perspective (50%), while the second group showed a tendency towards a negative past orientation (38.89%). The study highlights the intricate relationship between subjects’ levels of social activity and their propensity for depression based on their orientation towards time.
