“…Expectations carried by students to be academically success are also influenced by many important people in their lives, such as parents (Ang et al, 2009). Expectations to excel academically are then embodied in goal orientation and learning strategies (Kadivar et al, 2011). It is just that on several occasions, the expected outcome is often not in accordance with what is expected.…”

Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan gejala yang umum terjadi di kalangan mahasiswa. Kurangnya pemahaman dalam menggunakan teknologi komputer dapat menimbulkan kecemasan dalam pengoperasian komputer, sedemikian sehingga menyebabkan penangguhan dalam menyelesaikan tugas-tugas perkuliahan yang berhubungan dengan operasi komputer. Di sisi lain, kegagalan dalam mencapai sasaran akademis tertentu sebagaimana diharapkan oleh orangtua dan/atau mahasiswa yang bersangkutan juga membuat mahasiswa kurang fokus dan menimbulkan kecenderungan penundaan penyelesaian tugas perkuliahan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah guna menyelidiki kontribusi kecemasan penggunaan komputer dan stres akademis terhadap prokrastinasi pada mahasiswa. Enam puluh lima mahasiswa dengan bidang ilmu sosial (psikologi) menjadi partisipan penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kecemasan pengoperasian komputer dan stres akademik berperan signifikan dalam mempengaruhi prokrastinasi akademik di kalangan mahasiswa ilmu sosial. Dalam hal kecenderungan prokrastinasi akademis, kecemasan pengoperasian komputer dan stres akademis, persentase mahasiswa laki-laki lebih banyak daripada mahasiswa perempuan.

Background: Academic procrastination refers to the deliberate postponement of academic assignments despite being aware of the negative consequences. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on academic emotions and academic optimism among procrastination students. Methods: The present study was a semi-intervention type. The statistical population of the study consists of all procrastinating students of Payame Noor University, Bostan Abad Branch, who were studying in the academic year 2020. The study sample included 30 undergraduate students who were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into two groups (15 persons in the intervention group and 15 persons in the control group). Also, the intervention group was treated for eight sessions of one hour based on Kabat Zinn treatment protocol. To collect data, Tuckman Procrastination Questionnaire, Pekrun Academic Emotions (2002), and Academic Optimism Questionnaire were used. To analyze the data, covariance was used, which was analyzed with SPSS-23. Results: The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy increased positive emotions such as pleasure (P < 0.01), hope (P < 0.01) pride (P < 0.01), and decreased negative emotions, i.e., anger (P < 0.01), anxiety (P < 0.01), shame (P < 0.01), disappointment (P < 0.01), and fatigue (P < 0.01) in the intervention group. Also, the results of the variable of academic optimism showed that cognitive therapy based on mindfulness was associated with an increase in the components of trust (P < 0.01) and academic emphasis (P < 0.01), while on the component of the sense of identity (P > 0.01) had no significant effect. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, it was found that mindfulness training can be used as an effective intervention to moderate positive academic emotions and increase students' academic optimism.

“…The results of a meta‐analysis demonstrate that learning goals are more beneficial to learning processes compared to achievement goals (Utman, ; see Urhahne, ); however, learning goals are positively associated with interest and are less related to learning results (Harackiewicz, Barron, Pintrich, Elliot, & Trash, ; see Urhahne, ). Kadivar, Kavousian, Arabzadeh, and Nikdel () find a negative relationship between learning goal orientation and academic—but not general—stress and a positive association between achievement goal orientation and academic stress in a sample of university students. However, to the researchers' knowledge, no empirical studies examine the relationship between general stress and goal orientation in adolescent students.…”

Over the last decades, more and more adolescents and children feel chronically stressed, which negatively affects their school performance. However, less is known whether classmates' general stress affects an individual student's quality of motivation. Therefore, based on conservation of resources theory, this study examined the precise interplay between general stress and the quality of motivation for students in high- and low-tracking schools considering potential context effects. Results of multilevel multigroup structural equation models with questionnaire data from 1,088 German students identified differences in the relation between general stress and quality of motivation for students from different school forms on both the within and between level.
