Abstract

This research surveyed 438 college students by cluster sampling method to investigate the influence mechanism of boredom proneness and future time perspective on their learning engagement. The results are as follows. The overall level of college students' learning engagement is low(M = 3.64), and there is significant correlation between learning engagement and boredom proneness, future time perspective and other dimensions (p < 0.01). The future time perspective has a significant mediating effect between boredom and learning engagement(28.8%). And there are significant mediating effects between boredom and learning engagement in the three dimensions of future time perspective: future effectiveness, behavioral commitment and long-term goal orientation. Conclusion: college students' boredom proneness not only has a direct effect on learning engagement, but also has a negative inhibitory effect on learning engagement through the three dimensions of future effectiveness, behavioral commitment and long-term goal orientation.
