2.3 Social Media Use and Academic Procrastination
Increased time on social media has been associated with students’ tendency to postpone academic tasks (Kaya, 2021). Screen use late at night in particular is reported to delay sleep onset and lower sleep quality (Demir & Aksoy, 2022; Lee et al., 2020).
Self-regulation skills are discussed as a protective factor in this relationship (Yılmaz, 2019). Whether this effect is the same across all age groups [CITATION NEEDED].

Özet
Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde sosyal medya kullanım süresi, akademik erteleme ve uyku kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. İlişkisel tarama modelindeki araştırmaya 120 lisans öğrencisi katılmıştır. Akademik erteleme ölçeğinin iç tutarlılığı yüksektir (α = .89). Sosyal medya kullanım süresi ile akademik erteleme arasında pozitif (r = .50), akademik erteleme ile uyku kalitesi arasında negatif (r = -.62) anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Erteleme puanları cinsiyete göre anlamlı biçimde farklılaşmamaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: sosyal medya, akademik erteleme, uyku kalitesi, üniversite öğrencileri
Abstract
This study examined the relationships between social media use, academic procrastination and sleep quality among university students. A total of 120 undergraduates took part in this correlational survey. The procrastination scale showed high internal consistency (α = .89). Social media use was positively related to academic procrastination (r = .50), and procrastination was negatively related to sleep quality (r = -.62). Procrastination scores did not differ significantly by gender.
Keywords: social media, academic procrastination, sleep quality, university students
Response to reviewers
Pro and aboveA reply to each reviewer comment and where the text was changed.
| Reviewer comment | Our response | Change |
|---|---|---|
| “Sampling from a single university limits generalisability.” | A fair point. We added this to the limitations and recommend multi-site sampling for future studies. | Limitations, p. 64 |
| “Reliability coefficients of the scales are not reported.” | We added Cronbach’s alpha coefficients to the Method section (Table 3). | Method, Table 3, p. 38 |
Defence rehearsal
Pro and aboveAn AI jury asks questions specific to your thesis and evaluates your answers.
Jury question
Why did you choose convenience sampling, and how does it affect your findings?
Your answer
We used convenience sampling because of time and access constraints, so we were cautious about generalising and noted this in the limitations.
Evaluation
7/10Strength: You acknowledge the limitation openly; juries respond well to this.
Improve: Add how you determined sample size (power analysis) and in which respects the sample resembles the population.
