The study aimed to identify the most common dimensions of the future time perspective and to know the level of self-regulated learning among Yarmouk University students. It also aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the dimensions of the future time perspective in self-regulated learning. The study sample consisted of 704 students, 335 males and 369 females, who were selected based on a convenience sample method from among the students enrolled in the compulsory university requirements during the summer semester of the academic year 2017/2018. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Zimbardo and Boyed’s (1999) measure was used to measure the future time perspective, and Purdie’s scale for measuring self-regulated learning. The results showed that the future dimension was the most common among the sample of the study, and that the level of self-regulated learning was moderate, whether at the total score or the various dimensions. The study concluded that the dimensions of the future time perspective explained 18.8% of the variance in self-regulated learning.

The purpose of this study was to test whether persons of global-passive cognitive style would be more influenced in their affective view of the future by a momentary experience of success and/or failure than active-analytic Ss. 60 university students were tested for cognitive style and subjected to one successful, failure, or neutral experience. The simple experience of success or failure in a laboratory task appeared to have, at least temporarily, a diffuse effect on the global-passive Ss' affective view of the future.
