![]() They also include technological developments, such as the increasingly widespread manufacture and distribution of devices for reckoning time and space as well as advanced means of travel. They include historical events and circumstances such as the influence of the Renaissance and Enlightenment on philosophical and scientific understandings of space and time. Factors increasing TSD fall under the umbrella term cultural modernization ( Allan, 2012 Giddens, 1990 Greenfield, 2013 Harvey, 1990). Train time tables and time zones pegged to Coordinated Universal Time, for example, bring together variable units of time and distant spaces into routinized coordination ( Giddens, 1990 Zerubavel, 1982).Ĭultural variability in time–space experience has been driven by an array of diachronic developments in social–structural factors ( Palitsky et al., 2016). Facilitated by this separation (or “distanciation”), members of higher-TSD groups systematically, routinely, and precisely coordinate time and space using abstract standardized units ( Palitsky et al., 2016). ![]() time can be “wasted” if it is not properly “filled” Rosa, 2015). In higher-TSD social groups and environments, by contrast, time and space are understood as separate dimensions that exist independent of immediate human activity (e.g. determining time via the position of the sun). In such groups and environments, concepts of time are often intricately bound up with concepts of space (e.g. For individuals belonging to lower-TSD groups, or socialized in lower-TSD environments, time and space are only slightly differentiated: spaces are defined and shaped by the activities that occur within their boundaries, and time is not very sharply conceptualized beyond present activities. We conclude by describing the implications of this research for the study of time, space, and their connection.ĭerived from the theorizing of Giddens (1990) and Harvey (1990), TSD refers to the extent to which (1) time and space are abstracted from one another within a social environment through their precise measurement and control as separate, quantifiable dimensions, and (2) activities tend to be abstracted and organized across large distances and long spans of time ( Sullivan et al., 2016). We further found that (3) individual-level time–space distanciation is associated with a wide range of trait differences. We find that (1) state-level time–space distanciation is related to, but distinct from, collectivism and cultural tightness and (2) it has important implications for collective well-being. We then offer three studies providing initial evidence of the distinctiveness of this variable at both levels. ![]() We introduce this construct with an emphasis on its interdisciplinary roots and its status as a feature of both group- and individual-level psychology. To address this gap, we explore a model of Time–Space Distanciation, the extent to space and time are abstracted from one another in the cultural coordination of activity. While researchers in social psychology often explore space and time in isolation, the relations between these dimensions are rarely considered.
