Abstract


Academic procrastination (AP) refer to the phenomenon that students postponed executing learning tasks, whose reasons are task aversiveness and fear of failure. Academic emotions (AE) refer to various emotional experiences which are related to the students’ academic activities in the teaching/learning processes. A lot of theories and researches indicated that academic emotions play an important role in academic procrastinating behaviors, and particularly the correlation of anxiety and procrastination is very complicated and contentious. Based on the model of academic emotions theory of Pekrun’s, the theory of academic performance attribution (AA) and academic procrastination, this testified study used the questionnaire method to analyze the effect of academic performance attribution and academic emotions on academic procrastination as well as their correlation, sampled two samples from two senior high schools and a junior high school in Harbin (4 months apart, N=712). The results showed as follows.1. The Chinese version of API was reliable and valid for middle school students to assess their academic procrastination behavior.2. There was significant difference onAA, AE and AP of different grades and genders.3. There was significant difference on AA, AE and AP of different levels of academic procrastinating behaviors.4. There was significant correlation among AA, AE and AP.5. AP was predicted significantly by AA and AE.6. The four dimensions of AE(positive activating emotion-PA, positive deactivating emotion-PD, negative activating emotion-NA, negative deactivating emotion-ND) were the four paralleled mediators of AA on AP. PD, ND and NA mediated the relation partially between internal success attribution and AP. Though NA was mediator of external success attribution on AP, the mediation wasn’t significant. ND, PD and NA mediated the relation fully between internal failure attribution and AP. ND and PD mediated the relation fully between external failure attribution and AP.
