思考未来对个体现在行为具有重要指导意义。本研究以1002名初、高中学生为调查对象,采用问卷调查法探究未来时间洞察力与学业成绩问的关系,以及时间管理倾向在其中的中介作用。结果表明:(1)学业成绩高低分组在未来时间洞察力各维度和时间管理倾向上差异显著。(2)未来积极、未来坚持、未来清晰和未来计划与时间管理倾向和学业成绩呈显著正相关,未来消极和未来迷茫与时间管理倾向和学业成绩呈显著负相关。(3)未来消极对学业成绩具有显著的直接预测作用;未来消极还通过时间效能感间接影响学业成绩;时间管理倾向在未来迷茫、未来清晰、未来坚持、未来计划和学业成绩之间起中介作用。
Future time perspective (FTP) as a stable personality trait includes the future cognitive, affect experience and behavior disposition, and plays an important role in guiding the individuals' present behaviors, including students' academic achievement. Time management disposition is a way of psychological and behavioral characteristics of individuals in treating time function, value and using time. However, little research addresses the relationship between FTP and academic achievement in China, especially whether time management disposition can be a mediator variable between FTP and academic achievement. This present study, from the perspective of psychological time, provides advice for the health growth of adolescems. We hypothesize that in order to boost the sense of time value, adolescents with future orientation can make a reasonable plan for the future, prepare well for the future in advance, tend to delay gratification, and enhance behavior controllability, thus they have more persistence in academic performance. The sample in this study consisted of 1,002 middle school students, ranged in age from 11 to 19 years old. Instruments were the Scale of Time Managemem Disposition (time value, time monitor, and time efficacy), a FTP questionnaire (future negative, future positive, future confusion, future clarity, future persistence, future plan), and a survey on adolescent's academic achievement. The Mplus's Bootstrap program was employed to test the mediation effect of time management disposition.
