The Effect and Mechanism of Self-Control on College Students'Academic Achievement
Self-control is an essential cornerstone for the academic achievement and long-term development of college students.This study constructs a localized system of observation indicators for self-control based on a systematic review of the multidimensional theoretical concepts of self-control and the characterization of self-control deficiency among Chinese college students.Utilizing nationwide tracking data of university students,we analyzed the driving effects and mechanisms of self-control on academic achievement.Our findings indicate that a lack of self-control constitutes a collective crisis among Chinese college students,manifesting in characteristics such as difficulty in controlling efforts,failure in delaying gratification,unhealthy sleep habits,and symptoms of digital distraction,across academic,personal,and online domains.Through the mediating effect of academic engagement,self-control exerts a significant driving effect on both current and long-term academic achievement.This study provides scientific support for enhancing self-control among college students and ensuring the quality of talent cultivation in higher education.
