Comparison of Time Management Disposition among College Students from Different Majors

Objective To explore the characteristics of time management disposition among college students of several major majors, and analyze the impact of majors on the time management disposition. Methods: A stratified random sampling was used to select 1424 undergraduate students. They were surveyed with Adolescence Time Management Disposition Scale (ATMD). Results: The total average score of ATMD for undergraduate students in this group is (3.40 ± 0.49). There were 703 individuals (49.37%), 513 individuals (36.03%), and 208 individuals (14.60%) with high, medium, and low time management disposition in this group. The percentage difference in high, medium, and low time management disposition among majors is statistically significant (χ2=334.289, P<.001). Conclusion: The time management disposition of college students is at a medium level, and there is still room for improvement. Majors may be an important influencing factor on their time management disposition.
