ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to elucidate, in a decision making situation, the role of future time perspective, goal content and its underlying motivation on the willingness to make an effort to its achievement and to feel virtual regret. In addition, the relationship between future perspective and regret as a trait was explored. To this end, 242 university students classified as having long and short extension of future perspective were exposed to decision scenarios including intrinsic and extrinsic goals in the context of an autonomous or controlled motivation. The results showed a significant effect of these variables and the interaction between future perspective and underlying motivation on effort disposition. There was also a significant difference between high and low future perspective participants in regret as a trait. These results were interpreted in light of two important theories in the field of motivation and decision making, respectively, Self-determination theory and Prospect theory. Also, it was taken into account the theories of future time perspective and regret 1.0.
