Introduction: Educational burnout is one of the most important problems in the educational system at all levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of respective negative thinking in relationship between the dimensions of time perspective and academic burnout. Method: The method was descriptive and correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all pre-university male students in Maybod city studying in the academic year of 2015-16. Among them, 261 samples were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected applying Zimbardo and Boyd's time perspective, Ehring et al.'s respective negative thinking and Berso's academic burnout questionnaires. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The results of structural equation modeling showed that the negative last and present situation dimensions with intermediating respective negative thinking have a positive indirect effect on academic burnout. In addition, the positive last, pleasurable present and future dimensions with mediating respective negative thinking have negative indirect effect on academic burnout. Conclusion: These findings suggest that academic burnout will be decreased by changing the perspective of time and having positive thinking and sufficient resources for the purposeful thinking.
