Abstract (Swedish)
Önskan att ta risk och analysera nyttan är en av de viktigaste aspekterna som kan beaktas i personliga beslut. Senare studier har visat att den egna uppfattningen om tid och personlighetsdrag påverkar uppfattningen av den upplevda nyttan. I denna studie användes ett frågeformulär av 162 frågor. Frågorna delades in i tre grupper: framtida beslutsscenarier, ett personlighetsformulär och ett formulär om tidsperspektiv. Studien omfattade 83 individer. Resultaten visade på signifikanta relationerna mellan tidsperspektiv och upplevd nytta för ’past negative’, som var positivt relaterat, samt för sub-kategorin nutids perspektivet, där ’present fatalistic’ var negativt relaterad och ’present hedonistic’ var positivt relaterad.

Bland personlighetsdragen var extraversion positivt relaterad till subjektiv betydelse av upplevd nytta. (Less)
Abstract
Willingness to take risk and analyzing the utility are one of the most important aspects that can be considered in personal decisions. Recent studies have shown that that one’s perception of time and personality traits influence on perception of utilities. In this study a questionnaire with 162 questions was used. Questions were divided into three groups: future decision scenarios, a personality inventory and a time perspective inventory. The study included 83 individuals. Our results showed that there was a significant relationship between time perspective and subjective importance of perceived utility for past negative, related positive, and the two subcategorizations of the present perspective, fatalistic present perspective that was...

Among the personality traits extraversion was a positive predictor for subjective importance of perceived utility. (Less)
