Abstract

This study investigated the basic functions of active open-minded reasoning and future time perspectives by examining the role of sex and study discipline in determining future time perspectives among Saudi college students. The sample included 1796 Saudi students (40% female). This study employed active open-minded thinking and future time perspective scales and discovered a relationship between active open-minded thinking and its sub-factors as well as future time perspectives. Multilinear regression analysis revealed that repeated open-minded thinking had a significant impact on forecasting time perspectives. Furthermore, sex and study discipline served as bridges in forecasting future time perspectives. Furthermore, the results revealed differences between male and female participants. However, the research results of the study discipline (i.e., social sciences and humanities) demonstrated a larger contribution to open-minded thinking and future time perspectives. Our findings revealed that active open-minded thinking was related to sex. In addition, the study discipline had a major influence on expectations of time perspectives. We conclude that active open-minded thinking contributes significantly to forecasting time perspectives.
