includes 7 questions, Time attitudes include 6 questions and long-range planning includes 5
questions. All the questions were value based on the Likert scale of five value scores: Always
(5), frequently (4), sometimes (3), infrequently (2), Never (1). Except for question number 8, 10,
12 and 15, here the responses were reverse.
The range of possible scores was 18-90 on the 18 questions of time management scale, 7-
35 on the short range planning sub scale, 6-30 on the time attitudes sub scale and 5-25 on the
long range planning sub scale. Higher values on the scale correspond to better time management
practices.
