“…This is especially pronounced in situations that involve evaluation and any measurement of a person's abilities. Some authors [19] note that low motivation and interest, excessive self-confidence, laziness, lack of communication and consultations from teachers, are factors that cause academic procrastination. In addition, procrastination leads to a decrease in academic performance, an increase in the level of anxiety, often to the formation of an inferiority complex and, as a result, to discontinuing the study.…”

Abstract. Procrastination is a complex, psychologically heterogeneous phenomenon that includes behavioural, emotional and cognitive components. The main areas of manifestation of procrastination are professional and educational activities. Academic procrastination implies a delay in the fulfilment of educational assignments and is associated with undeveloped learning skills, lack of organization, forgetfulness, and behavioural rigidity. The consequence of this behaviour in most cases is the decrease in academic achievement, negative emotional experiences related to own failure, anxiety, and dissatisfaction with the results. Procrastination negatively affects the psychological well-being of students; therefore, this phenomenon is of special interest in the context of future specialists training. Available data demonstrate that 46 % to 95 % of secondary school pupils and higher educational institution students consider themselves to be procrastinators requiring professional psychological help. The study aimed to reveal the links between academic procrastination and anxiety among students. The participants in this study were 60 second year students of the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Faculty of Engineering, aged 20-27. The Procrastination Scale was used to measure academic procrastination; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form Y) was implemented to investigate anxiety. The study revealed that 48 % of the participants demonstrated a high level of academic procrastination, 27 % -medium and 25 % -low. The link between academic procrastination and situational and personal anxiety was revealed. The obtained data showed that with the situational and personal anxiety increase, the level of academic procrastination also increases. The development of recommendations, balanced workload distribution and an encouraging learning environment will reduce the level of academic procrastination among students.Keywords: academic procrastination, personal and situational anxiety. IntroductionThe life of a modern person abounds with various tasks and assignments, which implementation is associated with certain deadlines for delivery and clear time limits available for execution of those tasks. Whilst acknowledging the time frames, a person can plan his or her time, effort and resources, however, in a situation of constant tension and multitasking, it often happens that there is a need or a desire to postpone the execution of some tasks for later. The phenomenon of postponing tasks for later is described by term "procrastination". There is no single generally accepted definition of procrastination. Some authors [1][2][3] believe that procrastination is a voluntary, irrational postponement of the intended actions, despite the fact that this entails a negative effect on the individual. The opposite view is held by other researchers [4], arguing that not all delays lead to negative consequences. Many people, even though beginning to work at the last minute, can finish the task on time as they generate more creative id...

ÖZ:Bu meta-analiz çalışmasında cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerindeki üzerindeki etkisi test edilmiştir. Öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak ilgili yayınlar bir havuzda toplanmıştır (n=97). Araştırmacılar tarafından belirlenen ölçütler doğrultusunda 25 çalışmanın analize dahil edilmesine karar verilmiştir. Rassal etki modeli kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonuçları, cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerinde düşük düzeyde anlamlı etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir (f=25, d= .25, p<.001, SEd= .05). Çalışmada araştırmanın yapıldığı ülke, örneklem grubu ve yayım türü moderatör, değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Sadece araştırmanın yapıldığı ülke değişkeninin moderatör değişken olduğu belirlenmiştir (Qb= 15.48, df= 1, p<.05). Elde edilen sonuçlara göre cinsiyet akademik erteleme üzerinde etki yaratan bir değişkendir. Ayrıca Türkiye ile diğer ülkelerde yapılan çalışmalar arasında cinsiyetin akademik erteleme üzerindeki etkisi bağlamında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmaktadır.
