“…The relationship between fear and anxiety of covid-19 and life satisfaction among college students has not been tested. Finally , some studies were interested in investigating the linkage between psychological distress, sleep disturbance ( Chueh et al, 2019 ) and life satisfaction ( Lam & Zhou, 2020 ; Maria-loanna & Patra, 2020 ; McCleary-Gaddy & James, 2020 ). Nevertheless, these relationships were not consistent in recent reports.…”

“…Nevertheless, these relationships were not consistent in recent reports. Lam and Zhou (2020) ; Maria-loanna and Patra (2020) found that psychological distress was negatively associated with life satisfaction, while McCleary-Gaddy and James (2020) argued that this linkage was not significant. Thus, according to our knowledge, far less has been empirically done on exploring underlying mechanisms that influence how fear and anxiety of covid-19 on specific psychological distress, sleep disturbance and life satisfaction among youths, particularly for college/university students, who affected seriously by lock-down, social distancing and school closures caused by Covid-19.…”

“…Indeed, many studies indicated that psychological distress has a negative correlation with life satisfaction ( Lam & Zhou, 2020 ; Marum et al, 2014 ; McCleary-Gaddy & James, 2020 ; Satici et al, 2020 ). Also, Maria-loanna and Patra (2020) suggest that students, who had more anxiety, psychological distress, and depressive symptoms, tend to be less satisfied with life. However, Zhi et al (2016) argued that psychological distress was positively associated with life satisfaction.…”

“…Nguyen et al, 2013;van Eerde, 2016). Typical consequences of academic procrastination are not only lower academic achievement (Gareau et al, 2018;Kim & Seo, 2015;Morris & Fritz, 2015), but also lower psychological well-being (Çelik & Odaci, 2020;Krause & Freund, 2014), such as increased anxiety and distress (Argiropoulou & Patra, 2020;Sirois & Tosti, 2012;Tice & Baumeister, 1997).…”

Research on procrastination covers a variety of individual factors (e.g., conscientiousness) and this focus is reflected in interventions against procrastination. Less emphasis is put on situational and social factors that may help students reduce procrastination, such as social interdependence. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between interdependence with academic procrastination and affective variables. Two vignette studies with student samples (N1 = 320, N2 = 193) were conducted and data was analyzed with regression analyses and analyses of covariance. Results of both studies show lower state procrastination in group work with interdependence compared to individual work, especially in participants with high trait procrastination. This difference is more pronounced when interdependence is accompanied by an active commitment to finish the task on time. Further, interdependent group work is related to increased positive affect and decreased negative affect. The results demonstrate the relevance of situational and social factors for academic procrastination, and point toward new approaches for intervention.

“…En un estudio de metaanálisis los hombres son más postergadores que las mujeres, pero no se encontraron diferencias en cuanto a la situación sociodemográficas y el nivel educativo (Lu et al, 2022). La postergación es entendida como un fracaso en la autorregulación (Kandemir, 2014;Pychyl & Flett, 2012;Pychyl & Sirois, 2016;Steel, 2007), por lo que se ha relacionado con una variedad de trastornos emocionales tales como un menor bienestar psicológico, síntomas de depresión, ansiedad, estrés y trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (Bu et al, 2021;Çelik & Odaci, 2020;Maria-Ioanna & Patra, 2020). Estas dificultades de autorregulación es una capacidad motivacional que satisface los sentimientos autónomos y hace que las personas persigan y alcancen sus metas personales, de manera que la postergación puede considerarse como una desregulación volitiva, a pesar de estar motivada.…”

Background: Emotion regulation involves the modulation of emotional experiences to facilitate goal attainment. Conversely, emotional difficulties are a pattern of emotional experiences and expressions that interfere with goal-directed behavior. Objectives: Our aim was to determine the relationship between emotional regulation difficulties with procrastination, life satisfaction, and resilience to distress. Methods: The sample consisted of 366 individuals from the general population, with a mean age of 33 years (SD=15) and 62.1% female. Results: Procrastination was positively related to the six emotional distress regulation strategies and negative affect (NA), and negatively related to positive affect (PA). Life satisfaction and distress endurance are negatively related to the identified regulation strategies and NA, and positively related to PA. Procrastination, once NA and PA are controlled is predicted by lack of clarity and lack of goals. Satisfaction with life and resistance to distress are predicted by less lack of strategies. Conclusions: It is concluded that of the sociodemographic variables only age is relevant to procrastination, given that people younger than 21 years score higher on this construct. Procrastination is positively related to the six dimensions of difficulties in emotion regulation, where it is predicted by lack of goals and lack of clarity, however, satisfaction with life and resistance to discomfort by less lack of strategies.
