The mediating role of student academic support on the relationship of alienation from university and academic procrastination

Abstract

Higher education institutions and other decision-makers should elaborate on the factors affecting academic procrastination among university students in order to improve students’ emotional and academic well-being. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between university alienation and academic procrastination and the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of student academic support on the relationship between university alienation and academic procrastination. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. The sample consisted of 460 university students (M = 149; F = 311). The university alienation, academic procrastination scale and student academic support scale were completed. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between university alienation and academic procrastination. Student academic support was found to mediate the relationship between university alienation and academic procrastination. This study showed that student academic support can reduce academic procrastination in university students. Furthermore, the results highlight the need for more personal and environmental interventions to prevent important problems in education, such as alienation from university and academic procrastination.
