Abstract
(analytical)
Based on the idea that time is a valuable resource for human beings and the structuring and management of time during the pandemic affected young adults, the objective of this study was to describe the time structuring and management used by a sample of Mexican young people during the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 192 young people answered a personal data survey and a Time Structure Questionnaire (TSQ). The results of the questionnaire suggest that variables such as schooling, housing, and family conditions, as well as the loss of family members due to Covid-19, modulated the young people’s time structure. The authors conclude that the pandemic had an impact on the structuring and management of time among the young adults included in the sample.
Keywords: Time management; time perception; Covid-19; young adults.
