Focusing on future temporal perspectives, the Transcendantal-Future Time Perspective scale (TFTP; Boyd and Zimbardo 1997) is specifically designed to measure beliefs about life after death as a one-dimensional, 10-item instrument. We sought in this study to contribute to the French validation of the TFTP scale in a French sample of 256 participants (202 females, 54 males) with a mean age of 34,44 years (SD = 12.62). Content validity was assessed using CFC-14, ZTPI-15, and Schwartz’s ten value measure. Independent variables such as religious affiliation and level of religious practice were also included, as well as control variables related to past experience of confrontation with death. Confirmatory Factor Analysis validated the unidimensionality of the French version of the TFTP scale. Content validity was demonstrated with ZTPI-Future, and nomological validity was confirmed. The findings from this study support the validity of TFTP for assessing cognitions about the future in a French context, in reference to the imagined death of the body and beyond.
