Prospection (mental representation of possible future) is a mental activity that people constantly perform and a fundamental resource to build the present ( Gilbert and Wilson, 2007). Over the last years, there has been increasing interest in the implications of the prospective predictions of human beings ( Baumeister et al., 2016). Implications are discussed in terms of how prospective variables like dispositional optimism may lead to an increase in subjective well-being (SWB) through different affective and cognitive mechanisms. Finally, a third study comprising 371 secondary students (14.12, SD = 1.78) demonstrates the existence of a serial multiple mediation from gratitude and meaning in life over the relationship between optimism and life satisfaction. Results show a strong relationship between optimism and positive affect, but no mediating effect on life satisfaction. A second study is carried out with 1,356 university students (21.5, SD = 2.35) to demonstrate the mediating effect of positive affect on dispositional optimism and life satisfaction. A first study is conducted with 275 secondary students to assess the relationship between optimism and life satisfaction through self-control and grit (14.82, SD = 1.07), which indicates a mediating effect of grit but not of self-control. Additionally, we also seek to prove the mediating effect of different cognitive and affective variables associated with both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being on this relationship. This study aims to delve into the relation between dispositional optimism, one of the most relevant prospective constructs, and life satisfaction. Over the last years, understanding the implications of prospective thinking toward the future has become of increasing interest. 4Ministerio de Educación del Perú, Lima, Peru.3Universidad Marcelino Champagnat, Lima, Peru.2Department of Psychology, Continental University, Huancayo, Peru.1Faculty of Education and Social Science, Andres Bello University, Santiago, Chile.Xavier Oriol 1*, Rafael Miranda 2, César Bazán 3 and Estefany Benavente 4
