Abstract
This study investigated the relationships between three types of attitude towards the present time and sense of purpose and meaning in life, positive and negative affect, time conception, past and future time orientations, and the ‘Big Five’. K-means cluster analysis revealed three profiles of attitudes towards the present time: ‘Epicureanism’, ‘fatalistic hedonism’ and ‘absence from here and now’. ‘Epicureanism’, in contrast to ‘fatalistic hedonism’ and ‘absence from here and now’, was positively related to sense of purpose and meaning in life, positive emotions and positive evaluation of time.
