Abstract:To find out about the relationship of undergraduates’ resilience with their procrastination and tobacco-alcohol use in order so as to provide theoretical support for educational and psychological intervention strategies for undergraduates’procrastination and tobacco-alcohol use, 537 undergraduates were subjected to an investigation by use of the Tobacco-Alcohol Use Questionnaire(TAUQ) , Aitken Procrastination Inventory(API) and Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent(RSCA). The results showed that the undergraduates’ percentage of tobacco or alcohol use in the past month were10. 1% and26. 3% respec- tively, and there exists a significant gender and grade difference in the percentage of tobacco or alcohol use. A significantly neg- ative correlation is found to exist between tobacco-alcohol use with their psychological resilience in aspects of the goal planning, positive thinking and family support, while no significant correlation is found in this regard with their emotional control and help-seeking. There were significantly negative correlations between procrastination and the many dimensions of resilience, and
a significantly positive correlation lies between tobacco-alcohol use and procrastination. The negative predictive effect of resili- ence on tobacco-alcohol use was fulfilled through the full mediating effect of procrastination, with the value of indirect effect reaching up to-0. 072. Resilience can help reduce procrastination in undergraduates, and thus help decrease the frequency and amount of their use of tobacco and alcohol.
