As predicted, the effect of moderation was obtained in three models, where the dependent variable was life satisfaction – in the case of a negative past perspective and deviation from the balanced time perspective and adulthood perceived as a limitation, as well as in relation to the past positive perspective and adulthood perceived as a task.
