Although procrastination may have positive effects, such as avoiding stress, most research considers the negative side. Procrastination is a self-regulation failure that leads to poor performance and reduced well-being. Data has shown nearly 15%–20% of adults have chronic procrastination, and it is more prevalent among younger adults, as 70% of students admit that they procrastinated, especially in the academic field. Even now, human beings, especially children, still cannot eliminate procrastination. This wisdom stems from 600 years ago, trying to wake people up from procrastination. Conclusion: These findings inform parents of their roles in family education.
Results: After data analysis, this study showed the following: (1) helicopter parenting was significantly and positively related to child self-control, child procrastination, and parental smartphone use (2) child self-control partially mediated the relationship between helicopter parenting and child procrastination and (3) pathways between helicopter parenting and child self-control were moderated by mother-phubbing behavior. Methods: The Smartphone Addiction Scale for Chinese Adults, Brief Self-Control Scale, Over-Parenting Questionnaire, and Short General Procrastination Scale were employed to investigate 562 elementary school-age children and their parents.
Objective: This study constructed a mediated moderation model, focusing on the mediating role of child self-control and parental phubbing to clarify the relationship between helicopter parenting (over-parenting) and child procrastination and its mechanisms. With smartphone penetration into all aspects of people’s lives, how parenting affects children’s behavior may show new patterns. Background: The family environment is essential for elementary school children’s development.
