The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factors associated with procrastination and anxiety, both of which can impact a student’s college experience significantly. The research question we examined was whether perceived parenting styles, locus of control and self-efficacy could predict anxiety and procrastination in our sample of college students. The participants were college students in India (N = 156), who responded to an online survey with self-report questionnaires measuring the variables of interest. The results found that procrastination was significantly correlated with general (r = -0.597) and social self-efficacy (r = -0.241), and locus of control (r = 0.276), while anxiety was significantly correlated with these variables (r = -0.420, r = -0.248, r = 0.294, respectively) and the acceptance-involvement dimension of parenting (r = -0.227). A multivariate regression was conducted with procrastination and anxiety as outcome variables, locus of control, social and general self-efficacy, parental acceptance-involvement, parental strictness-supervision, and helicopter parenting included as covariates and gender, history of child sexual abuse, history of parental neglect, and ongoing treatment for a mental health concern included as factors. These predictors significantly contributed to the variance in procrastination (R2 = 0.3826) and anxiety (R2 = 0.4009). General self-efficacy emerged as the only significant predictor ( = -0.612) of procrastination in the model described, while gender ( = -0.117), ongoing treatment for a mental health concern ( = 0.147) and general self-efficacy ( = -0.451) emerged as significant predictors of anxiety. These results suggest that general self-efficacy can be a variable of further investigation for interventions targeted towards improving procrastination and anxiety among college students.

Comparison Groups

Previous research indicates that sex offenders were more likely to have been reared in dysfunctional families and to have identified less with their parents than were individuals in most comparison groups. It is unclear whether such failure to identify may be related to the perceived parenting styles and attitudes of the sex offenders' parents. 16 rapists, 18 pedophiles, 9 general offenders, and 11 college students completed the Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory to assess perceived parental communication patterns and attitudes. It was predicted that rapists and pedophiles would perceive their parents as (1) having been more rejecting, (2) as having exerted more control while encouraging less autonomy, and (3) as having provided harsher discipline than would individuals in comparison groups. Results supported the first two predictions.

Authoritative Parenting Style

Prior studies have suggested the importance of individual characteristics among youths (e.g., self-efficacy) and parents (e.g., parenting style) that may mediate the risk of the youth engaging in compulsive, addictive behaviors like Internet addiction (IA). The current work was the first to examine the associations of IA with self-efficacy and parenting styles among a unique sample of Muslim college students in Israel. Participants ( n = 500) reported on their symptoms of IA, self-efficacy, and their parents’ parenting practices. Consistent with the study hypotheses, authoritative parenting style and self-efficacy were correlated with fewer symptoms of IA ( r = −0.34, p < 0.01; r = −0.49, p < 0.01, respectively), whereas permissive and authoritarian parenting styles were correlated with elevated indicators of IA ( r = 0.41, p < 0.01; r = 0.46, p < 0.01, respectively). These findings are consistent with previous literature in Western samples, suggesting the cross-cultural importance of these personal attributes for reducing the risk of addictive Internet use.
