At t=0.3 s signs of position, velocity and acceleration are negative, negative and positive.

At t=1.2 s signs of position, velocity and acceleration are positive, positive and negative.

At t=-1.2 s signs of position, velocity and acceleration are negative, positive and positive.

Note: The displacement of the particle as a function of time can be thought of as 

x=f(t)=-Asin\pi t

where A is some positive real number equal to the amplitude of oscillation.
