Abstract
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Time Perception Questionnaire and its relationship with executive functions (working memory and organization) in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Tehran during the 2023–2024 academic year. This research was basic in purpose and descriptive-correlational in method. A sample of 264 children with ADHD was selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Quartier (2008) Children's Perception of Time Questionnaire and the Gioia et al. (2000) Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson's correlation and regression analyses in AMOS-24 software. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and Pearson's correlation and regression analyses in AMOS-24 software. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five-factor structure of the questionnaire (anticipation, goal attainment duration, temporal sequencing, time orientation, and mental estimation of duration), with excellent model fit indices: χ²/df = 1.52, CFI =.912, GFI =.905, AGFI =.856, and RMSEA =.045. A positive and significant internal correlation was also found among the components of time perception. Furthermore, correlation coefficients between the five components of the time perception questionnaire—as well as its total score—and the two components of executive functions (working memory and organization) were positive and significant. These results provide evidence for the questionnaire's convergent validity. Based on the findings of the present study, the time perception questionnaire can be considered a valid and suitable tool for assessing time perception in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
