Description:

Purpose		The Propensity to Plan measure was designed to assess individuals' tendency to plan. It is intended to be generalizable across domains and adaptable to different situations (e.g., different time ranges). It allows for cross-domain comparison of planning tendencies. An adaptation using "very long-run" time scales for planning with money predicted credit scores (see Lynch et al., 2010 for more details).
Questions		4 sets of 6 items using 6-point ratings (1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree)
Sub-scales		4 sub-scales: Money - Short Run Money - Long Run Time - Short Run Time - Long Run
Domain
