My research question is: Why do students procrastinate? What are the factors that lead to procrastination? This topic interests me because personally I would like to learn about why I feel so unmotivated to get things done on time. I have noticed this become a bad habit for not only me but also my peers at school and work. I’m eager to research the factors that dwell into the state of mind of procrastination in students because it will give me clarity on why so many of us feel this constant sense of procrastination. I’m intrigued to find out the factors that cause this state of mind in young adults . I’m also interested in understanding how society can fix this social issue that affects millions of people. I already know that procrastination is more common in young adults in our society specifically students. I’m aware that social media influence plays a major role in this bad habit because of how interactive and addicting it can be. Students procrastination levels have worsened in the past decade meaning it’s becoming a greater issue in our society. Some points that I plan to explore and find more about are the scientifical reasonings to procrastination, how psychological factors dwell into this habit and how environmental and social influences play a crucial role in procrastination nowadays.
