Metacognitive Awareness, Academic Procrastination, and Emotional Regulation among Students

Author(s) Krishnan Vijija, Soniya

Abstract The present study examined the relationship between metacognitive awareness, academic procrastination, and emotional regulation among college students, and explored differences based on age and gender. A sample of one hundred students aged eighteen to twenty three years participated in the study, with seventy five percent females and twenty five percent males. Descriptive findings showed moderate levels of metacognitive awareness and emotional regulation, along with relatively high academic procrastination. Correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between metacognitive awareness and either procrastination or emotional regulation. However, a significant negative relationship was found between academic procrastination and emotional regulation, indicating that students with better emotional control tended to procrastinate less. Age differences appeared only in metacognitive awareness, with younger students scoring higher. Gender differences were evident for emotional regulation, with female students demonstrating stronger emotional management skills, while no significant gender differences were found for metacognitive awareness or procrastination. These findings suggest that emotional regulation is a key factor associated with academic procrastination, whereas metacognitive awareness appears to function independently of the other variables. The results highlight the need for skill based interventions that strengthen emotional regulation to reduce procrastination among students.
Keywords Metacognitive Awareness, Academic Procrastination, Emotional Regulation, Gender Differences, Age Differences.
