The Impact of Future Time Perspective on Learning Engagement: The Indirect Effect of Self-Efficacy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the mechanism by which college students' Future Time Perspective influences their Learning Engagement. We conducted a survey with 550 Chinese undergraduates using three reliable and valid scales measuring Future Time Perspective, Learning Engagement, and Self-Efficacy. The results revealed that: (1) Future Time Perspective significantly and positively predicts Learning Engagement; (2) Self-Efficacy positively predicts Learning Engagement; and (3) Future Time Perspective significantly and positively predicts Self-Efficacy. This research sheds light on the relationship and underlying mechanism between Future Time Perspective and Learning Engagement, and deepens the understanding of how Future Time Perspective influences college students’ engagement in learning.
