Time is one of the most powerful influence on our thoughts, feelings, and actions,
yet we are usually totally unaware of the effect of time in our lives.

THE ROLE OF TIME IN CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR AND MARKET SEGMENTATION
ABSTRACT
The role of time in consumer behaviour and market segmentation. Three
contributions from a multidisciplinary perspective
Time has been the subject of numerous studies in multiple disciplines such as economics,
education, geography, psychology, and sociology. All human actions related to
consumption involve the allocations of time and money. However, in marketing literature,
far more attention has been paid to the latter than to the former. This doctoral thesis
adopts an interdisciplinary approach in order to describe the role of time in consumer
behaviour and market segmentation. It also considers both objective measures of time use
(Studies 1-3) and subjective measures related to time perspective (Study 3). The objective
of the first study is to identify and describe the time use patterns of Spanish consumers at
weekends. The data used have been obtained from the Time Use Survey collected by the
Spanish National Statistics Institute. The results obtained reveal the existence of nine
segments or clusters which are different, not only with regard to their propensity to engage
in each activity and the average time allocated to this (what), but also their sociodemographic profiles (who) and the timing or activity rhythms (when). This study provides
information for leisure-related businesses since it may enable them to organise their leisure
proposals/activities for weekends (as regards both duration and schedules), bearing in
mind the specific consumer profile that they wish to attract. The objective of the second
study is to evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of time use in a destination as a
segmentation criterion in tourism. The empirical analysis took place in the historic city of
Toledo (Spain), and was based on information obtained from 799 day-trippers and tourists.
The results obtained reveal the existence of four segments as regards day-trippers and
another four as regards tourists. What is more, there are significant differences in the
spending and future intentions of the clusters of day-trippers and tourists. Lastly, the
objective of the third study is to explore the role of five time perspectives (past-negative,
past-positive, present-fatalistic, present-hedonistic, and future) and having a balanced
time perspective on the amount of free time available, leisure benefits sought and leisure
activities. The results obtained from a sample of 320 undergraduate and Master’s degree
students from the University of Castilla-La Mancha show that how they understand time is
a key predictor of their leisure choices. This study also reveals that having a balanced time
perspective is a healthy way to enjoy leisure time. The doctoral thesis is organised in five
chapters. The first introductory chapter presents an overview of the state of research
regarding time from a multidisciplinary perspective. The second, third, and fourth chapters
present the three aforementioned empirical studies, while in the fifth chapter a summary
of this doctoral thesis’s contributions is provided.

RESUMEN
El papel del tiempo en el comportamiento del consumidor y la segmentación de
mercados. Tres contribuciones desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar
El tiempo ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios en varias disciplinas como la economía, la educación, la geografía,
la psicología y la sociología. Todas las acciones humanas relacionadas con el consumo implican la asignación de
tiempo y dinero. Sin embargo, en la literatura de marketing, se ha prestado mucha más atención a este último
recurso que al primero. Esta tesis doctoral adopta un enfoque multidisciplinar con el fin de describir el papel del
tiempo en el comportamiento del consumidor y la segmentación de mercados. Además, considera tanto medidas
objetivas de utilización del tiempo (Estudios 1-3) como medidas subjetivas relacionadas con la perspectiva
temporal (Estudio 3). El objetivo del primer estudio es identificar y describir los patrones de uso del tiempo de
los consumidores españoles durante los fines de semana. Los datos utilizados se obtuvieron de la Encuesta de
Empleo del Tiempo del Instituto Nacional de Estadística de España. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto
la existencia de nueve segmentos o grupos que son diferentes, no sólo en su propensión a participar en cada
actividad y el tiempo asignado a ésta (qué), sino también en sus perfiles sociodemográficos (quién) y ritmos de
actividad (cuándo). Este estudio proporciona información para los negocios relacionados con el ocio, ya que puede
ser de utilidad para ayudar a organizar sus propuestas o actividades durante los fines de semana (en cuanto a
duración y horarios), teniendo presente el perfil específico de consumidores que desean atraer. El objetivo del
segundo estudio es evaluar la eficacia y la rentabilidad del uso del tiempo en un destino como criterio de
segmentación en turismo. El análisis empírico se llevó a cabo en la ciudad histórica de Toledo (España), y se basó
en la información obtenida de 799 excursionistas y turistas. Los resultados obtenidos revelan la existencia de
cuatro segmentos de excursionistas y otros cuatro de turistas. Además, existen diferencias significativas en el
gasto y las intenciones de comportamiento futuras de los distintos grupos de excursionistas y turistas. Por último,
el objetivo del tercer estudio es explorar cómo cada una de las cinco perspectivas temporales (pasado-negativo,
pasado-positivo, presente-fatalista, presente-hedonista y futuro) consideradas y el hecho de tener una
perspectiva temporal equilibrada influyen sobre la cantidad de tiempo libre disponible, los beneficios buscados
con el ocio y las actividades de ocio realizadas. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de una muestra de 320
estudiantes de Grado y Máster de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha muestran que la forma en qué se entiende
el tiempo es un indicador clave de las decisiones de ocio. Este estudio también sugiere que el hecho de tener una
perspectiva temporal equilibrada es una forma saludable de disfrutar del tiempo libre. La tesis doctoral se
estructura en cinco capítulos. En el primer capítulo introductorio se presenta una visión general del estado de la
investigación en relación con el tiempo desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar. En los capítulos segundo, tercero
y cuatro se presentan los tres estudios empíricos anteriormente mencionados, mientras que en el quinto capítulo
se ofrece un resumen de las principales contribuciones de esta tesis doctoral.

(Ajzen & Driver, 1991; Godbey, Crawford,

been considered in this research. Some
alternative relationships could also be
considered. For example, it is possible
that the amount of free time available and
leisure benefits sought are mediating
variables in the relationship between TPs
and leisure activities. That is to say, it
could be argued that, in the first stage,
TPs determine the amount of free time
available and leisure benefits sought, and
that these variables may in turn influence
the frequency of participation in one type
of leisure activity or another. These

Finally, despite the fact that using the
ZTPI has allowed us to explore the
relationships between five TPs and having
a BTP and leisure choices in great detail,
recent studies also reveal the possibility
of qualitatively different versions of
future orientation (Spears & Amos,

(Andretta, Worrell, & Mello, 2014). In
