“…FTP was found to be negatively related to individuals' perceived anxiety (e.g., Papastamatelou et al, 2015;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). In addition, two recent meta-analyses found robust evidence that FTP and anxiety were negatively related constructs across different age groups and suggested a protective role of FTP (Diaconu-Gherasim et al, 2021;Kooij et al, 2018).…”

“…In this study, we used FTP as a moderator according to the expectancy-value theory by Eccles and Wigfield (2002) and to empirical work that suggests that expectancies of future success and value drive students' learning behaviors, while taking into account the negative emotional costs (Conley, 2012;Turner & Schallert, 2001;Turner et al, 2002). In addition, we relied on research that highlighted the protective and motivational role that FTP plays in the educational domain and with regard to anxiety (Andre et al, 2018;Diaconu-Gherasim et al, 2021;Kooij et al, 2018). Consequently, we proposed that FTP would moderate the negative association between students' anxiety and investment in learning.…”

We investigated the relationship between students' perceived stress and investment in learning and tested the role of future time perspective (FTP) as a moderator. We expected that FTP would serve as a protective factor in the association between students' perceived stress and investment in learning. Perceived stress was gauged by assessing students' mathematics anxiety related to class, learning, and tests, and investment in learning was gauged by measuring investment in learning with respect to mathematics. To measure FTP, we focused on the FTP in school and professional career. A total of N = 349 secondary school students from the Netherlands participated in this study. Results revealed negative associations between students' investment in learning and their anxiety in class, during learning, and while taking tests. The moderating effects of FTP were also found to be significant. Contrary to our expectations, higher levels of FTP were associated with a stronger negative relationship between anxiety and investment in learning. Moreover, we found negative associations between FTP and class anxiety and learning anxiety and a positive association between FTP and investment in learning. Overall, our results may suggest that FTP motivates students to learn, but students' anxiety weakens the motivating effect of FTP.

“…According to meta-analytic findings covering research conducted between 1963 and 2015, the future time perspective was related to several variables such as achievement, health behavior, and risk behavior (Kooij et al, 2018). In a different meta-analysis, future time perspective was related to several well-being indicators (Diaconu-Gherasim et al, 2021). Thus, it is unsurprising that the number of studies examining the relevance of future time perspective in the occupational context also increased.…”

Focus on opportunities and adaptive performance: The importance of distinguishing between subjective and objective performance measures

According to meta-analytic evidence, people who perceive more opportunities in their occupational future often report better well-being and motivation. A positive correlation with performance was also reported, but only a few performance facets were examined extensively, such as task and contextual performance. Furthermore, performance was usually assessed via self-reports in previous studies, which leads to validity concerns (e.g., overestimation of own performance). The present study (N = 258) helps close these research gaps by examining the relationship with a different performance facet and assessing performance subjectively and objectively (task scores). Specifically, the present study investigated whether focusing on occupational opportunities helps people adapt to changes (adaptive performance). While focus on opportunities was related to self-reported adaptive performance, there was no substantial evidence that focus on opportunities promotes adaptive performance (transition adaption and reacquisition adaption) on a specific task. Present findings indicate that it is important to distinguish between subjective and objective performance measures when investigating potential outcomes of focus on opportunities. Due to the limitations of subjective performance measures, such as the threat of overestimating own performance, it is recommended that future studies examining the relationship with performance facets also include objective measures. Since previous research is almost exclusively based on subjective performance measures, it is currently unclear whether focus on opportunities is of practical relevance in the performance context.

“…Importantly, however, the ability to hold multiple temporal contexts in mind and to flexibly shift our thoughts and behaviours in the service of current and future goals has been posited as the most adaptive expression of TP [ 1 ]. Proposed as a key component of positive psychology [ 1 , 4 ], balanced TP is associated with a range of domains relevant for wellbeing including life satisfaction [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Recent studies suggest that balanced TP is associated with better mental health (e.g., reduced anxiety and depression symptoms) [ 9 , 10 , 11 ] and psychological flexibility [ 12 ].…”

Functional Coupling between the Fronto-Parietal Network and Default Mode Network Is Associated with Balanced Time Perspective

et al. 2022

Balanced time perspective refers to the ability to flexibly switch between different temporal foci in an adaptive manner according to the current context. Functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) has been suggested to support balanced time perspective. The coupling between the DMN and fronto-parietal network (FPN) may drive many important expressions of internally directed cognition. However, it remains unclear whether balanced time perspective is supported by the interaction between the FPN and DMN. To examine these issues, we recruited 91 participants (52 males with mean age of 19.6, and 39 females with mean age of 20.0) to undergo resting-state brain imaging scan and to complete a questionnaire measuring balanced time perspective. Seed-based voxel-wise functional connectivity analyses implicated midline DMN regions including the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (amPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) along with the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), precuneus, and cerebellum in supporting a balanced time perspective. More importantly, functional connectivity between the right amPFC and right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the FPN was found to associate with balanced time perspective. Our findings suggest the importance of coordinated brain activity in supporting a balanced time perspective.
