Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss several methods which we have evolved for the study of individual differences in viewing and accommodating oneself to time. As such, this paper ought to be considered an exploration of individual personality differences. But before reporting on these studies, I should like to comment on the problem of time itself as a phenomenological dimension of man’s experience.
