Three temporary profiles found among the study participants correspond to three styles: predominantly negative and predominantly oriented to the future – the two more extreme – and another more balanced.

“ Balanced profile is the ideal job that results from a healthy attitude in all three time zones. They are people who learn positively from past experiences, are aimed at the fulfilment and autoexigencias of targets in the future, but not to neglect the possibility of living pleasant and enjoyable experiences and emotions ”.
