Project description

In this study, we are investigating the validity (≈ accuracy) of a short version of the modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale (mBTPS), a scale for measuring time perspective (= classification of experience into temporal categories). Short versions make it possible to make statements about the characteristics of a feature using as few time resources as possible. In addition to saving time resources, however, it is important that the short version captures the characteristic just as well as the original version of the measurement instrument.

Focus of the project

  • Development of the short version: compilation of a short questionnaire based on the modified Balanced Time Perspective Scale (mBTPS) and selection of suitable items

  • Validation of the short version: checking the accuracy of the short questionnaire, including in comparison with other measurement instruments in this area

Research methods & procedure

1

AP1 - Technical specification

Specific requirements are defined for the platform, such as minimum and maximum dimensions, transportability or the achievable dynamics of the traversing axes / racket movement. The result of this WP is an elaborated specification sheet.

2

WP2 - Component selection and design planning

The platform is digitally designed using CAD software and the appropriate components (e.g. robotic traversing axes, sensors, central computing node, air control in the base plate and blower, signal conditioning, etc.) are selected. The result of this WP is an elaborated specification sheet including design drawings.
