Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of future time insight on academic procrastination and the role of self-control among secondary vocational students, and to provide references for mental health education of them. MethodsA total of 1 419 secondary vocational students from 2 secondary vocational schools in Huangshan City Anhui Province were selected as the research objects in June 2022. The future time insight questionnaire for adolescents, the academic procrastination questionnaire for middle school students and the Self-Control Scale (SCS) were used to assess the future time insight, academic procrastination and self-control ability of secondary vocational students. The mediating effect test of PROCESS was used to analyze the mediating role of self-control between future time insight and academic procrastination. Results①There was a positive correlation between the future time insight questionnaire for adolescents score, the SCS score and the academic procrastination questionnaire of middle school students score (r=0.558, 0.470, P<0.01). ②Both future time insight and self-control could positively predict academic procrastination (β=0.463, 0.218, P<0.01), while future time insight could positively predict self-control (β=0.348, P<0.01). ③Self-control partially mediated the relationship between future time insight and academic procrastination [indirect effect=0.076 (95% CI: 0.052~0.101, P<0.01), and the indirect effect accounted for 16.41% of the total effect]. ConclusionThe future time insight of secondary vocational students can affect academic procrastination directly or indirectly through self-control, which partially mediates the relationship between future time insight and academic procrastination.
