Abstract

Caffeine has become a substantial part of diets in the U.S. Past research has studied the relationship between energy drinks and academic achievement in college students. However, little research has been done to measure the relationship between caffeine intake and variables like stress and procrastination. Our research study explores the relationship between caffeine consumption, academic achievement, procrastination, and stress among undergraduate college students. Undergraduate university students (N = 45) completed Landrum’s (2001) Caffeine Consumption Questionnaire-Revised, the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (Solomon & Rothblum, 1984), and the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989) was also included in our survey so that we could statistically control for sleep. Participants also provided their grade point average and responded to several demographic questions. Our data have been collected, and we will be analyzing our research questions at the bivariate level using Pearson’s correlation. The Bonferroni correction will be applied to control for familywise error rate.
