Bog'liq Student ProcrastinationAnxiety, often in light of potential negative feedback.
Task aversion, especially in cases where the students find an assignment boring or unpleasant.
Lack of motivation, often as a result of not caring about academic performance, feeling disconnected from their future self, or having rewards that are too far in the future.
Physical or mental exhaustion, often due to a combination of reasons, such as a high academic workload together with lack of sleep.
Resentment, generally toward the studying or assignments directly, toward their source, or toward something related, such as a parent pushing the student to do well in a subject that they’re not interested in.
Sensation seeking, generally in the form of enjoying working on things right before the deadline, when there’s intense time pressure that can make otherwise boring assignments more challenging and exciting.
Problematic work environment, generally as a result of having many distractions or temptations around.
Lack of sufficient communication from instructors, for example when it comes to not having clear directions and due dates for a certain class project.
Other common causes of student procrastination include behaviors such as self-handicapping, which involves procrastinating so that if the student fails then they can blame their failure on procrastination rather than on their abilities, and self-sabotaging, which involves procrastinating as a result of a tendency to hinder one’s progress.
Furthermore, certain personality traits, such as distractibility and impulsivity, are associated with the tendency to procrastinate, meaning that people who are naturally high in these traits are more likely to procrastinate.
Finally, there are also some underlying issues that can lead to procrastination, like ADHD, depression, and lack of sleep.
Overall, students procrastinate because issues such as exhaustion and anxiety outweigh their self-control and motivation. Common issues that lead to student procrastination include abstract goals, feeling overwhelmed, perfectionism, fear of failure, task aversion, resentment, a problematic work environment, and sensation seeking.
