At certain points during our lives, we inevitably experience feelings of resignation (akirameru in Japanese). Recently, mental health professionals have placed greater importance on investigating the role of cognition in resignation. The purpose of this questionnaire survey was to clarify the relationship between resignation and life satisfaction, self-affirmation, and experimental time perspectives (how one experiences the prospect of time), among a sample of university students (300 males and 300 females; mean age: 21.15 years, SD = 1.51). A covariance structure analysis revealed gender differences in the function of resignation. In addition, experimental time perspectives mediated the significant impact of mental health on cognition of resignation. An analysis of variance showed that high mental well-being was associated with high meaningful cognition and low failure cognition. The need for further interventions that focus on the cognition of resignation was discussed.
