A Community Development Corporation in Indianapolis hopes to begin
testing an asset building strategy for participants in several of its
programs.  One hypothesized effect of the strategy is that accumulating
assets will alter the way participants view present spending vs. saving
for future, more generally shifting toward a 'future oriented' way of
thinking.

I'd appreciate references to questionnaire items and scales that have
been used to assess 'present' vs 'future' orientation of respondents
attitudes, perceptions.  Are there any regularly administered items in
recurring surveys that attempt to track this in populations?

I'll be happy to accumulate responses and post back to the list.  TIA
