Abstract
"Procrastination is a growing problem, especially now after more than two years in the COVID19 pandemic in Mexico, where not all schools have resumed online learning, and this has had implications in students’ mental and physical health across all ages, promoting procrastination both directly and indirectly. This study's participants are 79 students from the Language Faculty at BUAP ranging from 18 to 35 years old. The objective of this research was to identify their procrastination tendency and levels of satisfaction with post-pandemic life. The results showed that the participants tend to procrastinate more because of an inability to resist temptations, rather than because of irrationality. They also reported feeling dissatisfaction with their lives, but there was no significant correlation between this fact and their procrastination tendencies. For further research, it is suggested to interview students of the faculty to know more of the reasons that push their procrastination behavior and explore the specific reasons for their dissatisfaction. Other aspects related to procrastination such as behavioral, psychological, socio-economical, physical deprivation and motivation play important roles when it comes to the ability to self-regulate procrastination, so these aspects could also be further investigated".
