Abstract: Purpose –Academic achievement has always been a concern in the high undergraduate’s
community. Numerous studies have addressed psychological aspects of students’ academic
life, however, past-positive time perspective (PP) -a warm and sentimental view of past events
that took place in someone’s life-, has not been profoundly contemplated. The fact that students
might organize their activities, employ different strategies to fulfill their tasks, and motivate
themselves to pursue their academic goals based primarily on their past experiences calls the
attention on conducting research on this time perspective dimension and its relationship with
procrastination and academic motivation. It was hypothesized that PP time perspective would
positively predict academic achievement via the mediation of academic motivation in a way
that the potentiate effect of PP time perspective on academic achievement would be increased
in highly motivated students, but this effect would be reduced in less motivated students. Also,
it was hypothesized that the relationship between motivation and academic achievement would
be negatively moderated by procrastination, such that academic achievement would increase
with academic motivation, however, that increase would be attenuated by procrastination.
