This study examined the relationship of perceived parental instrumentality and perceived parental expressiveness to future time perspective in tenth‐grade adolescents. Of the originally selected 270 students from an urban high school, 141 from twoparent families comprised the final sample. They responded to the modified Cornell Parent Behavior Description Questionnaire(s), the Heimberg Future Time Perspective Inventory, and the Child Personal Inventory Sheet. The data obtained on the modified Cornell Parent Behavior Description Questionnaire(s) were factor analyzed to determine the maternal and paternal scales of instrumentality and expressiveness. Using the Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient, three of the four hypotheses tested were supported ( p < 0.05). Each hypothesis was further analyzed according to the sex of the adolescent and a different pattern of findings emerged. In this article, conclusions are drawn with direct reference to theory and implications for nursing are addressed.
