Academic pressure and academic procrastination: The mediating role of negative coping strategies.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rooted in the Extended Procrastination-Health Framework, this study employed a survey of 600 Chinese university students to elucidate the mechanistic relationships among academic pressure, coping strategies, and academic procrastination. The findings reveal: (1) Academic pressure was positively associated with the increased academic procrastination (β = 0.470, p < 0.001); (2) Academic pressure was significantly positively associated with increased negative coping styles (β = 0.426, p < 0.001), while the negative coping styles was positively associated with the increased academic procrastination (β = 0.158, p < 0.05). (3) Structural equation modeling confirmed that negative coping strategies partially mediate the academic pressure-procrastination nexus (indirect effect = 0.068, proportionate contribution 12.64%), with the model demonstrating excellent fit indices (χ²/df = 2.89, CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.05). Notably, positive coping strategies exhibited no significant mediating effect. This study validates the theoretical pathway "academic pressure - negative coping - academic procrastination" and underscores the important bridging function of negative coping strategies in translating stress into procrastinatory behavior. The results provide empirically grounded intervention targets for universities to disrupt procrastination cycles through targeted emotional regulation and stress management programs.
