Abstract

Prokrastinacija je definirana kao voljno i iracionalno odgađanje planiranih aktivnosti unatoč njihovoj važnosti i mogućim posljedicama, a ubrajamo ju u jednu od najistraživanijih varijabli u psihologiji. Ipak, i dalje nema dovoljno istraživanja o potencijalnom odnosu između tjelesne aktivnosti i prokrastinacije. Upravo je iz tog razloga cilj ovog istraživanja bio istražiti medijacijsku ulogu lokusa kontrole i samoregulacije učenja u odnosu između tjelesne aktivnosti i prokrastinacije. Te su varijable odabrane temeljem do sada provedenih istraživanja koja sugeriraju kako one igraju značajnu ulogu u nošenju s akademskim izazovima i zadacima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 619 studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u dobi između 18 i 25 godina. Istraživanje je provedeno online putem, a sudionici su ispunjavali Tuckmanovu skalu prokrastinacije, Rotterovu ljestviu unutarnjeg prema vanjskom mjestu kontrole potkrepljenja, Upitnik tjelesne aktivnosti, Skalu motivacijskih strategija i pitanja o sociodemografskim podacima. Podaci su analizirani pomoću Pearsonove korelacijske analize i medijacijske analize, a dobiveni rezultati govore o značajnoj negativnoj povezanosti tjelesne aktivnosti i prokrastinacije. Viša razina tjelesne aktivnosti povezana je s unutarnjim lokusom kontrole i višom samoregulacijom učenja, dok je viša razina odgađanja obaveza povezana s vanjskim lokusom kontrole i nižom samoregulacijom učenja. Lokus kontrole i samoregulacija učenja pokazali su se medijatorima u odnosu tjelesne aktivnosti i prokrastinacije.

Abstract (english)

Procrastination is defined as the voluntary and irrational delay of planned activities despite their importance and potential consequences, and it is considered one of the most researched variables in psychology. However, there is still not enough research on the potential relationship between physical activity and procrastination. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of locus of control and self-regulated learning in the relatioship between physical activity and procrastination. These variables were chosen based on previous research suggesting their significant role in coping with academic challenges and tasks. 619 students from the University of Zagreb aged between 18 and 25 years participated in the study. The research was conducted online, and participants completed Tuckman Procrastination Scale, Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, Physical Activity Questionnaire, Motivational Strategies Scale, and a Demographic Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and mediation analysis, and the results revealed a significant negative correlation between physical activity and procrastination. Higher levels of physical activity were associated with internal locus of control and higher self-regulated learning, while higher levels of task delay were associated with external locus of control and lower self-regulated learning. Locus of control and self-regulated learning mediated the relationship between physical activity and procrastination.
