Social Media Use, Procrastination, and Academic Motivation: A Correlation Analysis

Author(s) Mr. Sagar, Dr. Amit
Country India
Abstract This study aimed to assess the relationship between the usage of social network sites (SNS) and procrastination as well as academic motivation in undergraduate students. A sample of 64 undergraduate students (Mean = 21.3 years; SD= 1.8 years) were chosen using convenience sampling in various colleges/universities in the Delhi National Capital Region in India. Information sought using three standardized research instruments: the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS), and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS-C 28). All the analysis tests were conducted using the Jamovi statistical software package and Spearman's Rank Order Correlation coefficients. The data analysis outcomes revealed that SNS usage and procrastination were statistically and positively correlated, as the correlation coefficient was .495, p < .001; however, there was a statistically negative correlation between SNS usage and academic motivation, as the correlation coefficient was −.609, p < .001. Although there was an indication that there was an inverse correlation between academic procrastination and academic motivation, as the correlation coefficient was −.078, p < .539, it was not statistically significant. The data analysis outcomes indicate that there was an indication that an excessive usage of SNS was positively correlated with the increase in academic procrastination and lack of academic motivation among the undergraduate students.
