Abstract

Background

Mobile phone addiction (MPA) has been extensively researched as an important factor for students' procrastination. However, the direction and magnitudes of the correlation between MPA and procrastination remain unclear. This meta-analysis, thus, aims to explore the relationship between MPA and procrastination in students, as well as the moderating effects of participant's individual characteristics (education level and sex), measurement tools, and social situational factors (publication year and culture).

Methods

Qualified studies were obtained through a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu. Meta-analysis was conducted in the CMA 3.0 software, and meta-analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the moderating effect.

Results

A total of 75 studies, including 48,031 participants, were obtained. The combined effect size of the random effects model showed a significant positive correlation between MPA and procrastination in students (r = 0.376, 95 % CI [0.345, 0.406]). Education level, sex, culture, and MPA measurement tools significantly moderated the correlation between MPA and procrastination. However, the correlation was not moderated by the year of publication and the measurement tools of procrastination.

Conclusion

MPA is positively correlated with procrastination in students. Given the high incidence of MPA in students and its potential risk factors for procrastination, attention should be paid to the identification and intervention of MPA to prevent students from procrastination.

学生手机成瘾与拖延症的相关性:meta分析。

背景:手机成瘾(MPA)作为学生拖延症的一个重要因素已被广泛研究。然而，MPA与拖延症之间的相关方向和程度尚不清楚。因此，本荟萃分析旨在探讨心理压力与学生拖延行为之间的关系，以及被试个体特征(受教育程度和性别)、测量工具和社会情境因素(出版年份和文化)的调节作用。方法:系统检索PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、PsycINFO、中国知网(CNKI)、万方网、唯普网，获得符合要求的研究。采用CMA 3.0软件进行meta分析，采用meta-方差分析(ANOVA)检验调节效果。结果:共获得75项研究，包括48,031名参与者。随机效应模型的综合效应量显示，心理压力与学生拖延行为呈显著正相关(r = 0.376,95 % CI[0.345, 0.406])。受教育程度、性别、文化和MPA测量工具显著调节了MPA与拖延症的相关性。然而，这种相关性并没有被出版年份和拖延的测量工具所缓和。结论:心理压力与学生拖延症呈正相关。鉴于学生中MPA的高发及其潜在的拖延症危险因素，应重视对MPA的识别和干预，预防学生的拖延症。
