Abstract
Academic procrastination is one of the significant issues among students in universities. The study aimed to understand the Eidetic Parents Test (EPT) implementation and its effectiveness on Academic Procrastination among university students. Ten participants were selected and the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991) was administered. The Eidetic Parents Test was conducted, and post-intervention scores for Academic Procrastination were taken on the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991). Data was analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The study's results revealed a significant difference between the levels of Academic Procrastination after (M=59.60, SD=2.70) and before the intervention (M=38.00, SD=4.24). Nonparametric analysis through Wilcoxon signed-rank test depicted a non-significant difference among males and females on the Academic Procrastination Scale. The Eidetic Parents Test (EPT) is an effective intervention in reducing the levels of Academic Procrastination among university students. Therefore, it has been suggested that EPT can be used as an intervention for Academic Procrastination.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
