“…It means that male students are more likely to perform academic procrastination than female ones. This finding is supported by some previous studies which also show that men have higher academic procrastination levels than women (Abdi Zarrin, Gracia, & Paixão, 2020;Balkis & Erdinç, 2017;Khan et al, 2014;Nilufer, 2017;Steel & Ferrari, 2013). This research indicates that male students have a higher risk of experiencing academic procrastination.…”

“…For instance, Li (2013) and colleagues used largescale sample to report the strong effect for the gender differences in procrastination among Chinese students, with more procrastination in males (Li, 2013). In addition, this conclusion is also supported by the Turkish population (Nilufer, 2017). However, the inconsistent results reported show that there is no gender differences in procrastination (Ajayi, 2020;Wang, 2020).…”

Procrastination describes a ubiquitous scenario in which individuals voluntarily postpone scheduled activities at the expense of adverse consequences. Steel (2007) pioneered a meta-analysis to explicitly reveal the nature of procrastination and sparked intensive research on its demographic characteristics. However, conflicting and heterogeneous findings reported in the existing literature make it difficult to draw reliable conclusions. In addition, there is still room to further investigate on more sociodemographic features that include socioeconomic status, cultural differences and procrastination education. To this end, we performed quantitative sociodemographic meta-analyses (k = 193, total n = 106,764) to fill this gap. It was found that the general tendency and academic procrastination tendency of males were stronger than females (r = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.02–0.05). No significant effects of differences in socioeconomic status (i.e., poor or rich), multiculturalism (i.e., Han nation or minorities), nationality (i.e., China or other countries), family size (i.e., one child or > 1 child), and educational background (i.e., science or arts/literature) were found to affect procrastination tendencies. Furthermore, it was noteworthy that the gender differences in procrastination tendencies were prominently moderated by measurements, which has a greater effect on the Aitken Procrastination Inventory (API) (r = 0.035, 95% CI: −0.01–0.08) than on the General Procrastination Scale (GPS) (r = 0.018, 95% CI: −0.01–0.05). In conclusion, this study provides robust evidence that males tended to procrastinate more than females in general and academic profiles, and further indicates that procrastination tendencies do not vary based on sociodemographic situations, including socioeconomic status, multiculturalism, nationality, family size, and educational background.

“…For example, Li (2013) used a large sample to report the strong impact of gender differences in procrastination among Chinese students; there was more procrastination in males (Li, 2013). Many studies report the same result (Balkis & Duru, 2017;Demir, 2015;Gür et al, 2018;Kutlu et al, 2015;Nilufer, 2017;Özer et al, 2009). According to the meta-analysis results by Lu et al (2022), men's procrastination tendencies are higher than women's.…”

Social media addiction mediates the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and academic procrastination

Academic procrastination is the failure to perform academic tasks on time or not doing at all. It can cause undesirable consequences for students' academic development and mental health. It has a complex structure that includes cognitive and emotional components in addition to its behavioral dimension. This study seeks to answer whether social media addiction mediates the relationship between satisfaction of basic psychological needs and academic procrastination. The participants were 647 university students (70.6% female and 29.4% male) representative of all the programs in the College of Education at a public university in Turkey. We used two analytic approaches to test the mediation effect (regression with bootstrap and structural equation modeling) and arrived the same conclusion. Results showed that social media addiction partially mediated the relationship between university students' basic psychological needs and academic procrastination. While greater satisfaction of basic psychological needs was directly related to a reduction in academic procrastination, indirectly, it was associated with a further decrease in academic procrastination through social media addiction. Thus, we suggest that preventive and curative psychological services should focus on enhancing the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) to help mitigate the development of social media addiction, which further reduces academic procrastination.
