目的：探讨医学生特质焦虑与学业拖延之间的中介机制。方法：选取重庆市某高校545名医学生为研究对象，采用特质焦虑量表(TAI)、学业拖延量表(PASS)和学业自我效能感量表对其进行问卷调查。结果：(1) 54.31%的医学生存在不同程度的学业拖延，学业拖延在成绩、生源地方面存在显著差异。(2) 学业拖延与特质焦虑呈显著正相关，与学业自我效能感呈显著负相关。(3) 特质焦虑不仅能直接影响医学生学业拖延，还能通过学业自我效能感对学业拖延产生间接影响，间接效应占总效应的18.33%。结论：特质焦虑和学业自我效能感是学业拖延的重要影响因素。医学生学业自我效能感在特质焦虑与学业拖延之间起部分中介作用。Objective: To explore the mediating mechanism between trait anxiety and academic procrastination among medical students. Methods: A total of 545 medical students from a university in Chongqing were selected as the research subjects. The Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI), the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS), and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey. Results: (1) 54.31% of medical students had academic procrastination to varying degrees, and there were significant differences in academic procrastination in terms of academic performance and place of origin. (2) Academic procrastination was significantly positively correlated with trait anxiety and significantly negatively correlated with academic self-efficacy. (3) Trait anxiety could not only directly affect academic procrastination among medical students, but also have an indirect effect on academic procrastination through academic self-efficacy, and the indirect effect accounted for 18.33% of the total effect. Conclusion: Trait anxiety and academic self-efficacy are important influencing factors of academic procrastination. Academic self-efficacy of medical students plays a partial mediating role between trait anxiety and academic procrastination.
