Influences of anxious and procrastinating behavior on academic performance
Influences of anxious and procrastinating behavior on academic performance

Summary/Abstract: Procrastinating behavior and assessment anxiety are increasingly encountered as maladaptive behaviors among young people, which increases the concern of educators and parents. In particular, the need to deal with the transition from traditional learning to active learning spaces has created new situations that have the potential to increase the prevalence of assessment anxiety and procrastination. The negative effects of the two behaviors (procrastination and evaluation anxiety) are perceived with some difficulty by the subjects who develop them, their denial being common. Emotions triggered by the evaluative moment and not properly controlled/managed can have negative effects not only in terms of academic performance, but also on students' health. Associated with this anxious state, procrastinating behavior reinforces the individual's cognitive and psycho-affective dysfunctionality, with particularly serious long-term negative effects.
