“…Future time perspective is negatively correlated with impulsivity [ 30 ] and positively associated with self-control ability [ 31 ]. Notably, impulsivity and self-control have been shown to mediate the effects of future time perspective on mental health [ 32 ], internet addiction, and procrastination [ 18 ]. The self-regulatory framework of the time perspective [ 11 ] has been proposed to explain this mediating effect.…”

This study examined bedtime procrastination predictors and the development process concerning health behavior. Based on temporal self-regulation theory and the self-regulatory framework of time perspective, we examined the effects of future time perspective, dual-model of self-control, and problematic smartphone use on bedtime procrastination. Further, including the mediating role of dual-mode self-control and problematic smartphone use in the effects of future time perspective on bedtime procrastination among 3687 participants (38.73% male; Mage = 16.17 years, SD = 2.42, range = 11–23) Chinese students. The results showed that the future time perspective, dual-mode self-control, and problematic smartphone use had significant predictive effects on bedtime procrastination. Importantly, the negative effect of future time perspective on bedtime procrastination is mediated by the impulse system, control system, and problematic smartphone use separately and serially mediated by the impulse system and problematic smartphone use, rather than the control system and problematic smartphone use; these findings extend previous research on the contributing factors of bedtime procrastination and provide an empirical basis for promoting people to form healthy sleep habits.

“…However, several studies have indicated that women are more willing to experience higher level of anxiety and are more stressed and less self-confident than men, factor that could negatively impact on their academic aspirations (Asher et al, 2017;Gao et al, 2020;Helwig & Ruprecht, 2017). Some studies that explored differences according to age on procrastination have suggested that younger students are more likely to procrastinate (Balkis & Duru, 2019;Steel & Ferrari, 2013), which can be attributed to a lack of self-control in order to repress the desire of an instant and present gratification for a greater reward in the future time (Germano & Brenlla, 2021).…”

Numerous studies have addressed psychological aspects of students’ life during the pandemic; however, data related to the role of future time perspective and sociodemographic differences -age and gender- in the relationship with procrastination and motivation is scarce. It was hypothesized that the relationship between future time perspective and procrastination would be negative, but positive with motivation, and that age and gender would have a differential moderating effect on those. This study was online and questionnaire-based. 257 undergraduate Psychology students aged 18–44 from the Catholic Argentinean University took part in the study. The results of moderation analysis allowed accepting partially the hypothesis formulated for procrastination, but for motivation the hypothesis was partially confirmed, since the relationship between future time perspective and motivation was not significant for men or for older students. These findings provide some insight into the role of future time perspective in behavior outcomes, especially in critical contexts like one of the pandemic, and how internal differences might enhance or diminish it. Moreover, the inclusion of certain psychological measures could be taken in order to compensate negative effects that higher procrastination and lower motivation can have in students.

“…Sin embargo, otros aspectos de la autorregulación propuestos por Carver y Scheier (1982( , citado en Baird, 2018, tales como el establecimiento de objetivos, el seguimiento de objetivos y el funcionamiento de objetivos, si bien están vinculados con aspectos del tiempo psicológico, se han estudiado únicamente en relación con una sola dimensión del tiempo: el futuro. Es decir, se han investigado sin considerar las otras dimensiones de la PT, lo cual sí ha sucedido en estudios que consideran el AC (e.g., Germano & Brenlla, 2021;Kim et al, 2017;Price et al, 2017).…”

“…Es por ello por lo que resulta esencial estudiar específicamente la vinculación entre la PT y el AC. En este sentido, durante la última década se han desarrollado estudios que demuestran empíricamente, a través de análisis de regresión lineal y de mediación y moderación, que tanto la dimensión Futuro como Presente de la PT predicen la capacidad de AC (Dreves & Blackhart, 2019;Fieulaine & Martinez, 2010;Germano & Brenlla, 2021;Kim et al, 2017;Price et al, 2017). Por otro lado, una revisión metaanalítica puso de manifiesto que existen 282 estudios empíricos que exploran la relación entre la PT y diferentes aspectos incluidos en el proceso de autorregulación (Baird, 2018).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la relación entre la perspectiva temporal y el autocontrol en jóvenes y adultos de Buenos Aires, Argentina. El diseño de investigación fue no experimental, transversal, inferencial, con alcance correlacional. Se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico de tipo bola de nieve. Los participantes (n = 560; 65,5% mujeres), con edades entre 18 y 60 años (M = 30,32; DE = 13,17), completaron un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos, el Inventario de Perspectiva Temporal de Zimbardo y la Escala Breve de Autocontrol. Se realizaron análisis de diferencias de grupos (t de Student), de correlación (r lineal de Pearson), de regresión lineal múltiple y un análisis de senderos. Se halló que las puntuaciones medias de autocontrol fueron mayores en adultos que en jóvenes. El autocontrol covarió de manera significativa y positiva con el futuro y la edad y de manera negativa con el presente fatalista, pasado negativo y presente hedonista. Tres de las dimensiones de la perspectiva temporal —futuro, presente hedonista y pasado negativo— y la edad explicaron un 44,8% de la variabilidad de las puntuaciones del autocontrol. Los resultados aportan evidencia empírica sobre la relación que existe entre el procesamiento psicológico del tiempo y la capacidad de autocontrol.
