  9. Young University Students’ Academic Self-Regulation Profiles and Their Associated Procrastination: Autonomous Functioning Requires Self-Regulated Operations

    Rafael Valenzuela, Núria Codina, Isabel Castillo, et al. · 2020 · Frontiers in Psychology · 56 citations

    Students’ autonomous self-regulation in learning requires not only self-motivation, but also volition. In this regard, self-regulation entails strategies both for enhancing self-motivation (goal setting, learning from mistakes) and volitional regulation (strategic decision making). Furthermore, personal characteristics, such as trait-level perseverance or grit may significantly influence both motivation and volition. Subpar self-regulation leads to procrastination, which has been defined as a volitional self-regulation problem – a tendency towards dysregulated behaviour that affects young people’s autonomy and well-being. Previous research has confirmed a negative relationship between self-r
