“…The data showed that children’s self-control increased among elementary school children after fourth grade. Consistent with previous neuroscience research results, 10–12 years of age is a critical period in developing the frontoparietal and limbic systems [ 50 ], which are the physical fundamentals of self-control [ 13 ]. Moreover, there are two development peaks of self-control before becoming adults.…”

“…Procrastination emerges in adults and even elementary school students who postpone their planned tasks. Feng and his colleagues suggested stages of procrastination development based on neural development; specifically, it starts at 6–8, which shows the trend of procrastination, then it develops into procrastinating behavior at 10–12, and finally, becomes the stable procrastination characteristic at 12–15 [ 13 ]. Procrastination develops throughout elementary-school ages; thus, the present study focused on the procrastination of elementary school children, as the bio-psycho-social-ecological systems theory suggests that family is one of the essential factors that influence children’s development [ 14 ].…”

Background: The family environment is essential for elementary school children’s development. With smartphone penetration into all aspects of people’s lives, how parenting affects children’s behavior may show new patterns. Objective: This study constructed a mediated moderation model, focusing on the mediating role of child self-control and parental phubbing to clarify the relationship between helicopter parenting (over-parenting) and child procrastination and its mechanisms. Methods: The Smartphone Addiction Scale for Chinese Adults, Brief Self-Control Scale, Over-Parenting Questionnaire, and Short General Procrastination Scale were employed to investigate 562 elementary school-age children and their parents. Results: After data analysis, this study showed the following: (1) helicopter parenting was significantly and positively related to child self-control, child procrastination, and parental smartphone use; (2) child self-control partially mediated the relationship between helicopter parenting and child procrastination; and (3) pathways between helicopter parenting and child self-control were moderated by mother-phubbing behavior. Conclusion: These findings inform parents of their roles in family education.

“…More interestingly, (Syapira et al, 2022;Tajari, 2019) found that although males procrastinated more than females, academic performance showed no significant difference amid males and females. According to some researches of the procrastination (Ajayi, 2020;Rostami et al, 2023) it was determined that variable of gender affects procrastination of learners in universities and it was found that procrastination is common among the female learners while a few researches (Feng et al, 2021) verified male learners show procrastination more. The research on procrastination behavior proved that procrastination behavior of male students is not significantly different from the female students (Mikaeili & Salmani, 2021).…”

“…The scholarly investigations have delved into the correlation between tardiness, gender, as well as academic accomplishment. It is noteworthy that the comprehension of the correlation between gender, procrastination, as well as academic success is heavily influenced by individual variances and contextual factors (Feng, Wang & Su, 2021). While certain research has indicated gender-based trends, it is imperative to acknowledge these results may not be widely generalizable & significant individual differences exist (Pogorskiy & Beckmann, 2023).…”

Sample comprised of 700 students studying at undergraduate and postgraduate programs in HEIs, selected by paying multistage sampling. The instruments applied in present analysis were Metacognitive Awareness Inventory organized and standardized by (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and Aitken Procrastination Inventory (Aitken, 1982) Results showed there exists significant difference in the meta-cognitive awareness and procrastination of students based on gender.

“…Conversely, the negative feelings associated with sleep-related cues may lead to sleep-related errors, culminating in an adverse experiential perception of sleep-related pressures [ 34 ]. It, in turn, prompts individuals to harbor an aversion toward sleep and subsequently adopt procrastinatory behaviors [ 35 ]. Empirical investigations have further indicated a correlation between general procrastinatory tendencies and heightened Social Interaction Anxiety in response to negative emotional stimuli [ 36 ].…”

In the context of innovative enterprises in China, the significance of sleep quality for employees’ physical and mental well-being cannot be understated. This study explores the complex relationship between Mindfulness and sleep quality and examines the potential interaction between Social Interaction Anxiety and prolonged sleep behavior. To this end, a thorough evaluation involving the administration of the Mindfulness scale, Social Interaction Anxiety scale, sleep delay scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was conducted among a significant sample of innovative enterprise employees (N = 1648). The findings reveal that a notable proportion of these employees, 31.1% to be precise (as per PSQI 8), grapple with compromised sleep quality. Subsequent analyses shed light on compelling patterns, underscoring a robust negative correlation between Mindfulness and factors like Social Interaction Anxiety, sleep delay, and sleep quality (β = -0.71, -0.37, -0.35; P < 0.01). Conversely, a significant positive correlation emerges connecting Social Interaction Anxiety, sleep delay, and sleep quality (β = 0.23, 0.37, 0.32; P < 0.01). Interestingly, mediation analysis demonstrates that Mindfulness significantly negatively influences sleep quality, independent of demographic factors such as sex and age. This impact is mediated by sleep delay, which also interacts with Social Interaction Anxiety. In summary, the research emphasizes the predictive function of Mindfulness in improving sleep quality among employees in innovative enterprises, achieved through its reduction of Social Interaction Anxiety and bedtime procrastination tendencies.
