Abstract: A survey using a cluster sampling of undergraduates was conducted to examine the relationship between future time perspective(FTP),goal orientation,social connectedness and academic adjustment.A total of 708 undergraduates participated in filling in a package of anonymous questionnaire.The results are as follows:(1) FTP,learning orientation,and social connectedness were positively related to academic adjustment,while performance orientation was negatively related to academic adjustment;(2) the relationship between behavioral commitment(the behavioral tendency component of FTP),future purpose consciousness(the cognitive component of FTP),future image(the cognitive component of FTP),social connectedness and academic adjustment was partially mediated by learning orientation; performance orientation partially mediated the relationship between future purpose consciousness and academic adjustment.However,future efficacy and far-goal orientation(the affective component of FTP) had no impact on academic adjustment.

Key words: academic adjustment, future time perspective, social connectedness, goal orientation
