“…Evidence shows that social environment (e.g., educational settings) is considered a critical contributor to the establishment of health behaviors in university students [ 65 ]. In addition to the age-related characteristics (i.e., at emerging adulthood), university life is independently associated with psychological stressors that undesirably affect health and future life [ 66 ]. Altogether, serious consideration must be applied in health-related educational policies to enhance health literacy and, consequently, strengthen the opportunities for sustainable individual and professional health behaviors from early adulthood (student) into matured adulthood (lecturers/academic staff) and the old/senior age.…”

“…Despite there being some evidence indicating a high prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (insufficient PA and poor dietary habits) [ 62 , 63 , 64 ], the social environment, especially during the pandemic of COVID-19, is considered a critical contributor to the establishment of health behaviors in university students [ 65 ]. Therefore, since both university life and emerging adulthood are linked to psychological stressors that undesirably affect health and future life [ 66 ], serious consideration in the dual approach must always be given in health-related educational policy in order to enhance health literacy and, consequently, strengthen the opportunities for sustainable health behaviors across emerging adulthood. Hence, this period in which individuals have left behind the relative dependency of childhood/adolescence but have not yet taken on the responsibilities of adulthood [ 60 , 67 ], is crucial to cultivate and/or develop health behaviors and habits that potentially lead to a sustainable and lifelong adherence to a healthy lifestyle.…”

Healthy lifestyle is the major indicator of individual and public health especially in target populations (e.g., during emerging adulthood). Evidence indicates that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are strongly associated with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. The dual approach of sustainable health (i.e., physical exercise tied to a healthy diet) is an effective lifestyle strategy to control and manage health-related disorders, including overweight/obesity. Based on the evidence on plant-based diets regarding health and considering the growing prevalence of vegans and vegetarians worldwide, limited data exist on the health-related behaviors of those who follow plant-based vs. mixed diets in young adulthood. This multidisciplinary study is the first to examine the association between diet type (mixed, vegetarian, and vegan diets) and various health-related behaviors (primarily physical activity, sport, & exercise) among college/university students and lecturers/academic staff in Austria nationwide. Following a cross-sectional study design and using online questionnaires, 4510 tertiary students and 1043 lecturers/academic staff provided data on sociodemographic characteristics, dietary patterns, physical exercise habits, and other lifestyle behaviors (sleep, alcohol intake, smoking, etc.) along with information on health status and quality of life. While the data will be analyzed based on differentiated sociodemographic and health-related categories, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on lifestyle behaviors will also be evaluated. As a study protocol, this article represents comprehensive details of the design, purposes, and associated analytical measures of the present study within the tertiary educational context.

“…Unrestrained ways of life in the university are being considered potential risk factors for the adoption of unhealthy behaviors. A self-regulatory problematic behavior manifested in the form of not starting or finishing tasks on time ( Argiropoulou and Kalantzi-Azizi, 2016 ). A study conducted by Rabin et al (2011) on college students ( n = 212) affirmed that AP negatively impacted learning, achievement, academic self-efficacy, and quality of life; it was also considered a problem of executive dysfunction.…”

BackgroundOver the last decade, indoor pool games (IPGs) and substance abuse (SA) became a remarkable emerging addictive behavior among adolescent university students. With the failure of educational quality and retention of learners, boomerangs around the university local environment in line with the students’ learning culture were not considered in many countries including Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to examine the trajectory and contribution of an IPG and SA to students’ academic procrastination (AP) as determinants of quality education.MethodsA sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. Self-reporting questionnaires, interview guides, and an observation checklist were used to collect data. All self-reporting items were adapted from previous scales. By using simple random sampling techniques, 237 undergraduate university students were selected for obtaining the quantitative data, and using purposive sampling, 12 interviewees were selected to collect the qualitative data. The SPSS AMOS version 25 was used to compute the multiple mediation path analysis. The Hayes PROCESS macro model was used. Furthermore, the thematic content analysis method was employed for the qualitative data.ResultsA direct path analysis was established between IPG, SA, and AP. The path analysis model indicated that IPG did not significantly predict AP. Moreover, SA significantly predicted AP. In addition, SR had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between IPG, SA, and AP.ConclusionThe study concluded that IPG and substances available around the university local environment found trajectories to students’ AP, which in turn affects the quality of education.

“…O interesse sobre o efeito da procrastinação no contexto acadêmico não é atual, com pesquisadores como Solomon e Rothblum (1984) relacionando-a com a demora em concluir deveres de casa, preparar-se para exames ou finalizar trabalhos no último instante da data de entrega, com uma prevalência média de 50 % em estudantes da época, percentual mantido e até ampliado por pesquisas mais atuais como na de Ferrari e Ferrari (2010) que identificou 70 % dos acadêmicos com algum nível de procrastinação, e no estudo de Argiropoulou et al (2016) na Grécia, que identificou cerca de 40.5 % dos alunos classificados como procrastinadores frequentes.…”

O presente estudo objetivou conhecer o poder preditivo dos traços de personalidade, dos valores humanos e do perfeccionismo para com a procrastinação acadêmica, propondo um modelo explicativo. Participaram 348 universitários, a maioria do sexo feminino (58,4%), com idade média de 22 anos. Estes responderam a Escala de Procrastinação Acadêmica; a Escala de Quase Perfeição – Revisada; o Questionário dos Valores Básicos; o Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade e perguntas demográficas. Baseado na regressão, propôs-se um modelo explicativo no qual a conscienciosidade predisse as dimensões de perfeccionismo (adaptativo e desadaptativo) e estas, por sua vez, predisseram a procrastinação acadêmica. Os resultados apontam para um ajuste satisfatório deste modelo que contribuem para o entendimento da procrastinação acadêmica.
