Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the influence of achievement goal orientations on academic procrastination and academic performance among clinical medical students. Methods The multi-stage stratified convenient sampling method was used to conduct an online survey in May 2019. A total of 2 555 clinical medical students from four domestic medical universities in Heilongjiang province participated in the survey. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the association of achievement goal orientations on students' academic procrastination behavior and academic performance. Results The results showed that the score of students' mastery goals was (3.86±0.66). The scores of performance-approach goals and performance-avoidance goals were (3.45±0.79) and (3.48±0.74) respectively. The score of academic procrastination was (2.67±0.91). The mastery goals were negatively associated with academic procrastination of clinical medical students. The performance-avoidance goals were positively associated to their performance-avoidance goals. The mastery goals and performance-approach goals were positively associated with academic performance among clinical medical students. The performance-avoidance goals were negatively associated with their academic performance (all P<0.01). Conclusions Different types of achievement goal orientations have different associations with academic procrastination and academic performance of clinical medical students. The clinical medical students who have performance-approach goals have better academic performance. The mastery goals can alleviate academic procrastination and enhance academic performance among clinical medical students, while clinical medical students who have performance-avoidance goals have more significant academic procrastination and poor academic performance. It is suggested that clinical medical students should establish multiple achievement goal orientations dominated by mastery goals.
