  2. Self-Regulation and Academic Procrastination

    Caroline Senécal, Richard Koestner, Robert J. Vallerand · 1995 · The Journal of Social Psychology · 564 citations

    Abstract The role of autonomous self-regulation as a predictor of academic procrastination was assessed. French-Canadian students from a junior college (N = 498) completed the Academic Motivation Scale as well as an academic procrastination scale and other measures (anxiety, self-esteem, and depression) that have been found to be related to fear of failure. Correlation results indicated that students with intrinsic reasons for pursuing academic tasks procrastinated less than those with less autonomous reasons (external regulation and amotivation). Regression results indicated that the measures of depression, self-esteem, and anxiety accounted for 14% of the variance in academic procrastinati

    Floor M. Kroese, Denise T. D. de Ridder, Catharine Evers, et al. · 2014 · Frontiers in Psychology · 385 citations

    BACKGROUND: Procrastination is a prevalent and problematic phenomenon that has mostly been studied in the domain of academic behavior. The current study shows that procrastination may also lead to harmful outcomes in the area of health behavior, introducing bedtime procrastination as an important factor related to getting insufficient sleep and consequently affecting individual well-being. Bedtime procrastination is defined as failing to go to bed at the intended time, while no external circumstances prevent a person from doing so. METHODS: To empirically support the conceptual introduction of bedtime procrastination, an online survey study was conducted among a community sample (N = 177). T

  4. Academic procrastination in college students: The role of self-reported executive function

    Laura A. Rabin, Joshua Fogel, Katherine E. Nutter‐Upham · 2010 · Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology · 374 citations

    Procrastination, or the intentional delay of due tasks, is a widespread phenomenon in college settings. Because procrastination can negatively impact learning, achievement, academic self-efficacy, and quality of life, research has sought to understand the factors that produce and maintain this troublesome behavior. Procrastination is increasingly viewed as involving failures in self-regulation and volition, processes commonly regarded as executive functions. The present study was the first to investigate subcomponents of self-reported executive functioning associated with academic procrastination in a demographically diverse sample of college students aged 30 years and below (n = 212). We in

    Zeyang Yang, Kathryn Asbury, Mark D. Griffiths · 2018 · International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction · 240 citations

    Over the past decade, there have been an increasing number of studies that have investigated problematic and/or ‘addictive’ smartphone use. The present study explored the prevalence and correlates of problematic smartphone use (PSU) among Chinese university students. Few studies have investigated relationships between PSU and factors such as academic anxiety, academic procrastination, self-regulation, and subjective wellbeing. The present study proposed and tested a hypothetical model of relationships between PSU and these factors. A total of 475 Chinese university students completed a paper-based survey during class breaks. The survey comprised a battery of psychometric scales translated in

  10. Academic Procrastinators and Their Self-Regulation

    Seung Won Park, Rayne A. Sperling · 2012 · Psychology · 115 citations

    Previous procrastination research has provided considerable support for procrastination as a failure of self-regulation. However, procrastination has rarely been examined in relation to models of self-regulated learning. The purpose of this study was to understand the motives and reasons for academic procrastination from a self-regulated learning perspective. The current study employed a mixed-methods design in which participants completed several survey instruments of academic procrastination, self-regulation, and academic motivation and participated in semi-structured interviews. Findings indicated that academic procrastination was related to poor self-regulatory skills and defensive behav

    Mehmet Kandemir · 2014 · Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences · 100 citations

    The behavior of academic procrastination is quite common among students. Students can not show their real performances in learning processes and they fail because of procrastination behaviors.

Descriptive survey model and availability sampling model are used in order to re

  16. Exploring academic procrastination: Perceptions, self-regulation, and consequences

    Lea Shaked, Haia Altarac · 2022 · Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice · 13 citations

    This qualitative study examines academic procrastination among Israeli Master of Education students writing their theses. The majority of the the participants (80% of the 145) reported behaving differently on this task than on other assignments. One of the primary factors influencing procrastination derives from the complexity of the assignment. Considering the research literature describes tight relationships between academic procrastination and academic achievement, one surprising finding concerns the fact that respondents saw no relationship between their procrastination and their final grade.
