Mediating effect of self-compassion on the relationship between academic procrastination & academic burnout among undergraduates in a Malaysian public university in Klang Valley / Lim Wee Lee

The direct relationship between self-handicapping behavior and negative mental health outcomes had been demonstrated in past study. Researchers had suggested a further investigation into the mechanism by which the direct effect is established. On the other hand, the role of self-compassion act as a...
