“…In addition, Murrell and Mingrone (1994) found that need for achievement, self-monitoring, and overall length of time diaries predicted future time perspective, adding support to the relation between future time perspective and general achievement-related behavior. Despite the number of studies examining scholastic performance and future time perspective, few studies have looked at the relation between measures of intelligence and measures of future time perspective, and those that did found small positive or no correlations (Blatt & Quinlan, 1967;Mischel & Metzner, 1962;Prenda & Lachman, 2001). Thus it appears that, although educational attainment is positively related to a more extensive future time perspective (without speculating about the direction of causality), a significant relation to measures of general intellectual function has not been established.…”
