- Abstract
Executive functions (EF) are important cognitive skills for regulating behavior and achieving goals efficiently, especially in the educational context, where they act as mediating variables in various issues. This study explored the relationship between academic procrastination (AP), social media addiction (SMA), academic achievement (AA), and executive functions (EF) in 132 Mexican adolescents, employing a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design with descriptive and correlational scope. Significant correlations were identified, revealing that lack of emotional control and inhibition could foster SMA by driving unreflective usage, seeking instant gratification, and hindering reflection on consequences, thus increasing dependence and inability to resist impulses. Furthermore, it was observed that higher SMA was associated with increased academic procrastination, as these platforms offer distractions that contribute to postponing academic responsibilities. It was also identified that AP was linked to difficulties in EF related to planning and organization, which are essential for efficiently structuring time and activities. Lastly, better performance in the assessed EF correlated with improved AA, confirming that these cognitive skills enable students to adapt to various academic demands. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of implementing strategies to strengthen EF and prevent negative consequences associated with AP, SMA, and low AA.
