This study delved into the relationship between temporal perspectives (i.e., past-positive, past-negative, present hedonistic, present-fatalistic, and future time perspective) and motivational types (i.e., intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation) among 200 Filipino undergraduates of a private catholic university. Correlation results support Western studies and further shows future time perspective (FTP) and past-positive time perspective as significant predictors of intrinsic motivation toward achievement (R 2?=?.11, F(2,197)?=?12.28, p?<?.000), extrinsic motivation introjected (R 2?=?.16, F(2,197)?=?18.42, p?<?.000), and extrinsic motivation external (R 2?=?.10, F(2,197)?=?10.78, p?<?.000). Findings also show FTP, past-positive time perspective, and present-fatalistic perspectives as predictors of extrinsic motivation identified: R 2?=?.16, F(3,196)?=?12.71, p?<?.000. Lastly, significant values of FTP and present-fatalistic time perspective also emerged as predictors of amotivation: R 2?=?.10, F(2,197)?=?10.81, p?<?.000. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2016.
