procrastination is highly prevalent amongst students and impairs academic performance. The metacognitive model of procrastination explains a significant proportion of unintentional procrastination variance. However, the model has yet to be tested using academic performance as the dependent variable. We tested whether the metacognitive model of procrastination explained self-reported academic performance (AP).
a convenience sample of 204 current undergraduate and postgraduate students completed a battery of online questionnaires that measured intentional and unintentional procrastination, metacognitions about procrastination, AP, and depression. We conducted a series of correlation analyses and a path analysis (based on the metacognitive model of procrastination) that specified AP as the dependent variable.
the correlation analyses indicated that there are significant, negative associations between AP and depression, AP and negative metacognitions about procrastination, and AP and unintentional procrastination. The tested model was a good fit of the data and explained 13% of the variance in AP.
this study is cross-sectional.
our findings provide further support for the metacognitive model of procrastination, indicating that novel interventions that target metacognitions may help to tackle procrastination and optimize AP.
拖延在学生中非常普遍,会影响学业成绩。拖延的元认知模型解释了很大一部分非故意拖延的差异。然而,该模型尚未通过将学业成绩作为因变量进行测试。我们测试了拖延的元认知模型是否可以解释自我报告的学业成绩(AP)。
一个方便的样本,由 204 名当前的本科生和研究生组成,完成了一系列在线问卷,这些问卷测量了有意和无意的拖延、拖延的元认知、AP 和抑郁。我们进行了一系列相关性分析和路径分析(基于拖延的元认知模型),将 AP 作为因变量。
相关性分析表明,AP 与抑郁、AP 与对拖延的消极元认知以及 AP 与非故意拖延之间存在显著的负相关。测试的模型与数据拟合良好,解释了 AP 变化的 13%。
本研究是横断面研究。
我们的研究结果进一步支持了拖延的元认知模型,表明针对元认知的新干预措施可能有助于解决拖延问题并优化 AP。
