Procrastination and suicide proneness: A moderated-mediation model for cognitive schemas and gender

Abstract

This study examined the direct and indirect paths between procrastination and suicide proneness while considering gender differences. Participants included 547 undergraduates from a southeastern university. Procrastination was positively related to suicide proneness for both genders, although this relation was stronger for women. Moderated-mediation analyses with bootstrapping highlighted insufficient self-control schemas as a mediator in the relation between procrastination and suicide proneness. However, indirect pathways did not vary by gender. Results represent an extension of the Procrastination-Health Model by highlighting the contribution of cognitive factors in explaining the relation between procrastination and suicide proneness.

Academic Self-Efficacy and Postgraduate Procrastination: A Moderated Mediation Model

“…Therefore, we speculated that the influence of academic selfefficacy on academic self-control may be significantly different depending on gender, and the mediating effect of academic selfcontrol may also be different according to gender. Some studies showed a significant difference in the degree of academic procrastination between genders (Ozer et al, 2009;Ghosh and Roy, 2017) and some did not (Klibert et al, 2011(Klibert et al, , 2016. Ozer et al (2009) pointed out gender differences in the causes of procrastination; significantly more female students than male students reported greater academic procrastination because of laziness and fear of failure, while more male students than female students reported more academic procrastination as a result of risk taking and rebellion against control.…”

“…Academic procrastination is a specific kind of procrastination, the manifestation of procrastination in learning ( Zhang et al, 2010 ). Academic procrastination is commonly seen among middle-school, high-school, and college students ( Ghosh and Roy, 2017 ; Ziegler and Opdenakker, 2018 ; Li et al, 2019 ), and it produces many adverse effects such as negative emotions, anxiety and depression, lower learning efficiency, lower academic self-esteem, and academic pressure ( Romano, 1996 ; Klassen et al, 2010 ; Klibert et al, 2016 ; Krispenz et al, 2019 ). Previous studies have investigated middle-school and college students, but postgraduates have rarely been observed comparatively.…”

Academic Procrastination, Depressive Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation in University Students: A look during the Pandemic

“…A possible explanation for the influence of academic procrastination on suicidal ideation is the fact that academic procrastination generates stress problems, feelings of guilt, and anxiety or negative feelings that can lead to suicidal behaviors ( 26 - 30 ). Other researchers suggest that lack of self-control or difficulties in managing frustration when desired goals are not achieved cause unhealthy attitudes that can lead to suicidal ideation ( 31 ). In this sense, it is necessary to implement psychological programs in universities that seek to identify students who have a tendency to increase their levels of procrastination and to attend to them; since this can reduce the risk of suicidal ideation.…”

Efikasi Diri Berhubungan Dengan Tingkat Prokrastinasi Akademik Pada Mahasiswa Keperawatan

“…Hasil analisis prokrastinasi akademik pada responden menunjukkan sebagian besar mahasiswa mempunyai tingkat prokrastinasi akademik sedang (48,8% Hasil penelitian ini menemukan baik responden laki-laki maupun perempuan sebagian besar mengalami prokrastinasi akademik kategori sedang. Liu et al (2020) dan Klibert et al (2016) dalam hasil penelitiannya mengemukakan bahwa tidak ditemukan perbedaan signifikan pada tingkat prokrastinasi akademik yang dimiliki mahasiswa laki-laki maupun perempuan. Penelitian oleh Ghosh dan Roy (2017) menyebutkan hasil yang berbeda yakni perempuan memiliki tingkat prokrastinasi akademik lebih tinggi dibandingkan laki-laki.…”
