Abstract

The present study aims to determine the motivational profiles of university students through a person-centered approach and to examine the relationship between motivational profiles, academic procrastination, and life satisfaction. The study participants comprised 1,770 undergraduates (1019 female, 749 male, and 2 not specified), who were categorized into three main profiles: (a) students with high levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation but with a low level of amotivation (33.8%), those with a "high-level academic motivation profile"; (b) students with moderate levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation but with low levels of amotivation (44.9%), those with a "medium-level academic motivation profile"; and (c) students with low levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with high levels of amotivation (21.3%), those with a "low-level academic motivation profile. The results of this study revealed that students with a high-level academic motivation profile have a high level of life satisfaction and a low level of academic procrastination. The results also show that students with medium-level academic motivation profiles have higher levels of life satisfaction than students with low-level academic motivation profiles. However, the academic procrastination level of students with medium-level academic motivation was found to be lower than that of students with a low-level academic motivation profile.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı birey merkezli yöntem ile üniversite öğrencilerinin motivasyon profillerini belirlemek ve bu profiler ile akademik erteleme ve yaşam doyumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Bu çalışmanın katılımcıları olan 1770 üniversite öğrencisi (1019 kadın, 749 erkek and 2 belirtmemiş), şu üç profile ayrılmıştır: (a) hem içsel hem de dışsal motivasyon düzeyleri yüksek fakat motivasyonsuzluk düzeyleri düşük öğrencilerden oluşan (%38) “yüksek düzeyde motivasyonlu profil” (b) hem içsel hem de dışsal motivasyon düzeyleri orta düzeyde olan fakat motivasyonsuzluk düzeyleri düşük olan öğrencilerde oluşan (%44.9) “orta düzeyde motivasyonlu profil”, (c) hem içsel hem de dışsal motivasyon düzeyleri düşük fakat motivasyonsuzluk düzeyleri yüksek öğrencilerden oluşan (%21.3) “düşük düzeyde motivasyonlu profil”. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, yüksek düzeyde motivasyonlu profildeki öğrencilerin yüksek düzeyde yaşam doyumu ve düşük düzeyde akademik erteleme gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Sonuçlar ayrıca orta düzeyde akademik motivasyonlu profildeki öğrencilerin, düşük düzeyde motivasyonlu profildeki öğrencilere göre daha yüksek düzeyde yaşam doyumuna sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca orta düzeyde motivasyonlu profildeki öğrencilerin akademik erteleme düzeylerinin düşük düzeyde motivasyonlu profilde yer alan öğrencilere göre daha düşük düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur.
