Future Orientation, Well-being, Achievement, Tutoring, COVID-19Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare future orientation, well-being, and academic performance measured before and during the pandemic. Additionally, the study searched to analyze whether pre-pandemic levels of future orientation were a protective factor against possible changes in well-being and performance during the pandemic. In 2018, all students registered in the tutoring program (N = 596) of the Psychology faculty in a private Peruvian university were invited to participate in a longitudinal study (2018-2020). Ninety-six students agreed to collaborate during the first two years (pre-pandemic period = T1). However, only 48 did so during the third year (T2). The comparative study was carried out in this group. The findings indicate that there is variation between T1 and T2 in terms of exploration (information and advice seeking) in the life domains of career and family, i.e. students during the pandemic explore their future options more intensively. Optimism regarding couple and family life has also changed. Students consider their future plans more viable with respect to their nuclear family. Finally, it has been observed, through regression analysis, that students' beliefs regarding their internal resources to fulfill their goals predict increases in their performance. It is necessary to implement studies in different contexts and with different educational actors to strengthen the findings.
