Abstract

In the present paper, the modeling of academic procrastination based on Covid-19 anxiety with the social networks-addiction as the mediating role in high school students was studied.

Method: This paper is a descriptive, correlational study that was carried out in the statistical population of high school students in Someh-sara city in academic year 2021-22. 300 students participated in this study through convenience sampling method and answered the following questionnaires: Corona Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Cellphone-based Social Network Addiction Questionnaire (AMQBSN) and Solomon and Roth Bloom Academic Procrastination Questionnaire (PASS). Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Amos statistical software through path analysis.

Results: Bootstrap results showed that the direct effects of Corona anxiety on procrastination (β = -0.10), Corona anxiety on addiction (β=0.16), addiction on procrastination (β=-0.66) were significant and meaningful. The results also showed that the indirect effect of Corona anxiety on procrastination mediated by addiction (β=0.10) is significant and has a minor mediating role (P <0.05).

Conclusion: The results also indicate that the proposed model has a good fit. Therefore, it can be concluded from the present study that Covid-19 anxiety is directly related to academic procrastination through the mediation of social media addiction
