Abstract Background
Academic procrastination is a major challenge among college students studying in different courses. Academic procrastination behaviuors lead them to face anxiety, stress, low academic performance, and worse mental & physical health. Understanding this behavior and reducing its effect on students is becoming important.
Objectives
This study was focused (i) to assess the level of academic procrastination behaviors among college students (ii) to compare academic procrastination behaviours among college students over their genders (male, female), nature of courses (academic, professional), locality (rural, urban) and type of family (joint, nuclear).
Method and Participants
In this survey 100 participants (UG and PG students) studying in different academic and professional courses of Government and Private Degree Colleges of Bareilly City affiliated to MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly (UP).
Results
The study revealed that most college students showed moderate (40%) and below-average (25%) academic procrastination. 10% of college students were equally distributed over low and extreme levels of academic procrastination. College students of both genders were significantly different in their academic procrastination behaviours. Still, there were no significant differences reported among college students in their course categories (academic, professional), locality (rural, urban), and type of family (joint, nuclear).
Conclusions
Appropriate motivation techniques, breaking down the tasks, fixing the deadlines and sticking to them, using a planner, eliminating distractions, taking proper breaks to avoid burnout, and rewarding at the time of compellation of tasks are recommended.
