Analyzing The Impact Of Academic Pressures And Mobile Phone Addiction As Mediators On Bedtime Procrastination Among Undergraduates

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the academic workload and procrastination that undergraduate students engage in before going to bed, as well as the indirect impacts of active procrastination and addiction to mobile phones. An investigation was car[1]ried out in order to determine the levels of academic stress, procrastination, dependence on smartphones, and behaviors related with completing assignments at the eleventh hour among a total of 350 students. The interaction between Academic Workload (AW) and Cell Phone Addiction (CA) yielded a β = 0.031*. The interaction between Academic Workload (AW), Bedtime Procrastination (BP), and Cell Phone Addiction (CA) resulted in a β = 0.027**, highly significant at the p-value of 0.001**. In addition, students who are already predisposed to becoming addicted to mobile phones may encounter more pressure to take on additional responsibilities, which may also result in a further drop in the amount of time they spend sleeping that they get. The information that these studies provide sheds light on the influence and interplay of the dependence that college students have on mobile phones in their day-to-day lives. The research indicates that educational institutions have the potential to significantly contribute to the reduction of the academic constraints that students are under.
