Abstract

The time orientation of a group of 26 delinquent boys is compared with that of a matched control group of non-delinquents by obtaining stories from all Ss and scoring them in terms of the length of time covered by the action of the stories. The delinquent boys produce stories with significantly shorter time spans than do the control boys. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
