In non-industrialized countries (and some subcultures in industrialized countries), event time is more common-where people do not find their schedules and understanding of time dictated by the clock, but rather events around them. It is important to understand that a client's concept of time can even impact their health-people with biases toward what Zimbardo calls past-negative and present-fatalistic perspectives are at greater risk for problems with both physical and mental health.
