Earlier studies showed that there is typical improvement in performance of achievement oriented persons if a task is said to have future contingencies. In this study Indian students were tested for n-Achievement (n-Ach) and temporal orientation, extension, and locomotion through a story writing technique. It was found that high n-Ach Ss have a tendency to think more in terms of future rather than past or present and over extended periods of time in situations even where future contingencies have neither been spelled out nor suggested, nevertheless may exist. It is suggested that this future oriented and extended time perspective may constitute the necessary cognitive makeup needed for achievement oriented tendency. Findings, thus further extend the recently elaborated theory of n-Ach, implications have been discussed.
