Abstract

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have transformed the learning process in higher education by making it easier to search for information, complete assignments, and write academic papers. However, these conveniences have the potential to increase the tendency toward academic procrastination. This study aims to analyze the influence of the intention to use Artificial Intelligence on academic procrastination among currently enrolled students at HKBP Nommensen University in Medan. The study is limited to measuring the intention to use AI based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and academic procrastination based on the theory by Ferrari, Johnson, and McCown (1995). This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 350 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert scale, while data analysis employed simple linear regression. The results indicate that the intention to use AI has a positive and significant effect on academic procrastination (R = 0.760; R² = 0.577; t = 21.808; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that 57.7% of the variation in academic procrastination is explained by the intention to use AI, while 42.3% is influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study. Most respondents exhibited moderate levels of both AI usage intent and academic procrastination. This study concludes that the higher students’ intent to use AI, the greater their tendency toward academic procrastination. It is hoped that these findings will serve as input for higher education institutions in improving students’ AI literacy, ethical use of technology, and self-regulation skills so that the use of AI continues to support the quality of learning

Abstract

Early adulthood is a transitional period characterised by academic, career and work demands, interpersonal relationships, and uncertainty about the future, all of which can trigger a quarter-life crisis. This study aims to analyse the influence of emotional regulation on the quarter-life crisis and to identify the most dominant aspects of emotional regulation amongst young adults in the city of Medan. The study employed a quantitative approach using a simple linear regression design. The sample comprised 348 individuals aged 18–25 years, selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 27-item emotional regulation scale and an 18-item quarter-life crisis scale. Both instruments demonstrated good reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.959 and 0.879, respectively. Analyses were conducted using SPSS 20.0 via descriptive statistics, assumption tests, and simple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that emotional regulation has a significant effect on the quarter-life crisis (R = 0.552; R² = 0.304; F = 151.343; p < 0.001), accounting for 30.4 per cent of the variance. The aspect of ‘limited access to emotion regulation strategies’ was the most dominant (26.3 per cent), followed by ‘non-acceptance of emotional responses’ (20.7 per cent) and ‘lack of emotional clarity’ (18.7 per cent). These findings fill a research gap regarding the inconsistencies in the results of previous studies in the context of early adulthood in the city of Medan. It was concluded that the greater the difficulty in regulating emotions, the higher the likelihood of experiencing a quarter-life crisis. These results underscore the importance of strengthening skills in emotional regulation, adaptive coping, career planning and decision-making for young adults
