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.

Aim: Time perspective identifies a person's perception or assessing of past, present, and future. Time perspective, has an unconscious cognitive structure that a person uses in decision-making on short-term or long-term goals and actions. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of achievement goal in the relationship between time perspective, academic achievemen, and students' academic procrastination. Method: For this purpose, 424 (223 female, 201 male) students from different faculties (Literature, Engineering, Science) of the Persian Gulf University of Bushehr were selected by cluster sampling method and responded to the Zimbardo Time Perspective Scale (ZTPI, the form of 56 questions), Transcendental Future Time Perspective Scale (TFTPS), Measuring Target Scale 3×2 (3×2 AGQ-S), and the Academic Procrastination Scale (TPS). Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed a direct significant relationship between the time perspective and achievement goal. Besides, there was a significant relationship between time perspective and academic procrastination and a significant indirect relationship between achievement goal and academic procrastination. Also, the indirect relationship between time perspective through achievement goal with academic achievement was significant. In addition, the indirect relationship between time perspective through academic procrastination and academic achievement was significant. Results of Structural Equation Modeling indicated the fitness of the supposed model in the study. Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be said that time perspective has an important mediating role in achievement goal in the relationship between academic achievement and academic procrastination. Accordingly, taking into account the time perspective role and raising awareness of achievement goal and academic procrastination can improve students' academic achievement.
