dc.description.abstract | Why do students leave universities? The current study addresses the problem of
academic attrition from the perspective of students’ intentions. Specifically, we focus
on the roles of academic self-efficacy and procrastination in exploring their relationships
with attrition intentions. Based on existing research, we expected a negative relationship
between academic self-efficacy and attrition intentions, with procrastination as a
possible mediator. Furthermore, it was expected that this relationship would differ
depending on the type of attrition (i.e., drop-out, transfer university, transfer study field).
These hypotheses were investigated among Norwegian students in a questionnaire
study (N = 693). Results showed that procrastination partially mediated the relationship
between academic self-efficacy and three attrition intentions categories. Although
procrastination was a significant mediator of self-efficacy for all types of intentions,
the sizes of the direct and indirect effects were different. We conclude that academic
procrastination is important in understanding the relationship between students’ selfefficacy beliefs and attrition intentions. | en_US |
