Studies on the prevalence and psyche behind these practices have experienced a significant increase. While extensive literature suggests vast negative effects of Academic Procrastination, there remains a significant gap in the reporting and understanding of these effects. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the self-perceived effects of Academic Procrastination in a population of pre-service students enrolled in an ELT programme at the Faculty of Languages, BUAP. Through a mixed-method approach and convenience sampling, 21 students from Meta III were subjected to the application of the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) to quantify their Procrastinatory Tendencies. However, only six students accepted to participate in a semi-structured interview which intended to explore participants' perceptions of the effects of academically procrastinating on their academic and personal lives. Results indicate a significant prevalence of Procrastinatory Behaviours (52%) in the sampled population, particularly among female participants. Furthermore, the interviews revealed appalling side-effect symptoms of stress and anxiety in participants derived from their Procrastinatory Behaviours. Significant emotional-behavioural and physical effects, such as self-injuring behaviours, substance abuse and unhealthy lifestyles, were identified in the participants".pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAInglés--Estudio y enseñanza (Superior)--Hablantes extranjeros--Estudio de casosEstudiantes universitarios--Administración del tiempoProcrastinación--EvaluaciónRendimiento académico--EvaluaciónTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
