Theoretical Framework
Laziness becomes a common behavior among students in the learning processes and
cognitive performance. This behavior appears with a person because of the failure in self-
regulation and he/she normally experiences lack of achievement goal orientations in studies.
Duru & Bakis (2014) in their research revealed that passive attitudes such as lazy or
procrastination affect self-regulation with relation to academic performance would make them
competent with themselves towards commitment and finally they would not achieve anything that
would make them satisfied. Hence, this low motivation in desire and self-regulation would involve
them in procrastination, social and disciplinary problems and finally would affect their

buck pass him. We have always secretly envied our lazy friends (Morley, 2011).
Well, every one of us knows this feeling: we have a lot of work to do but a
momentary feeling of laziness, or even a habitual state of pure laziness prevents us from getting
motivated to perform our tasks. We do not feel energized and just don´t want to do particular
activities, either because we lack the inspiration or are not encouraged enough to start working.
there are types of lazy people: those who are thrill seekers who wait until the last minute so that
they get into a euphoric rush when they finish the work at the very last possible minute, those who
avoid work simply because they are too scared to fail. Doing it at the very last minute gives them
an excuse for the mediocrity of the job they did. They would just rather put the blame on time
rather on themselves and those who simply let go of the responsibility for outcomes so that they
According to Young (2011) there are three reasons why people become lazy. The
first one is low energy. A common source of laziness is simply being drained. This is a silent
cause of getting stuck, because humans aren’t equipped with a fuel gauge.
Sasson (2008) said that people can overcome laziness by being active, instead of
passive, by not procrastinating, by being aware of the importance of acting, instead of letting
laziness get the upper hand. Things don’t get done by being lazy and making no effort. Success
requires activity, doing, initiative, and taking advantage of opportunities. This requires an active
person, not a passive one. It requires the ability of resisting and overcoming laziness and
procrastinating.
In effect laziness hinders us to do our work, but what is even worse: laziness reduces
our whole life-experience, as we pursue by far less hobbies and spare time activities than we
would, if we weren´t lazy. Let´s not allow laziness to reduce the quality of our lives (Miya, 2010)
Estanislao (1997) added to work for people; know the reason for your being there.
Remind yourself that whatever job you have taken added that people should impose self
discipline. For most of us, the first minute of each day is one of the most difficult. When the time
comes to get up, the comfort of our bed tempts us to sleep on, even if only for a few minutes
more, at the time, we are still drowsy and often feel as if we have not sleep enough.
Timbreza ( 2003) also added to identify your goals. If you are is to fulfil your needs.
Work is associated with personal success and happiness, material prosperity in life, selfrealization
and self-fulfilment. Man does not work to satisfy his biological needs which man has in common
with the animals. Man works in the service of life. Work humanizes man

Technology is good for human life and has played a very significant role in human
development. However, on the other hand, technology is making people too lazy to do anything
without the help of the technology. Most people are unable even to do the simple calculations
without the help of calculator, not be they are not able but because they are unwilling and
unprepared psychologically to handle it. In fact, with the look of things at the present,
technology will make the future generations too lazy to do anything on their own.

refuses to fulfil his duties. A lazy person prefers leisure to work. Of course, from the point of
Laziness is a negative act in the process of education. A lazy student is often the worst
student. When a child prefers leisure to reading and writing, his knowledge will be poor and his
marks will be low. Parents always worry about the progress of their children, because they know
that only hard work can help one reach his goal. It is impossible to learn a new language or
understand mathematics or physics without hard work. If you want to succeed in any discipline,
you ought to devote much time to self-development and improvement of your background
knowledge. In my opinion, students ought to struggle against laziness, because it ruins their
potential. One can reveal his talents only when he works hard. Garcia (2016)

People get lazy all the time. If you stop and think about all the times you've
decided not to do something productive or to put something off that could have been
accomplished at that very moment, you'd realize how much time you actually waste in a single
day. Take a look at the bigger picture and you'll realize how much time you've actually wasted
The older you are, the harsher this reality becomes. Needless to say, the prime
characteristic of the most successful and productive people is that they're NOT lazy, so if you
want to become more successful and productive in life - and thus happier too - then tackling
You will learn how to get past those moments of passivity by understanding how
they happen and what you can do to overcome them. This means learning about the most basic
obstacles to productivity and knowing how to deal with them and manage yourself so that you
are able to make the most of your schedule and stick to whatever plan you make.
It is proven fact that in the first reading, some may be able to understand
moderately, a few may not be able understand anything, which completely depends on the
readers strength of the language used to communicate the subject. Hence, to understand the
subject clearly one must repeatedly read the lessons few times in an extensive manner then
followed by some intensive reading. So, if one is lazy to read the lessons it is highly impossible
First of all, one should understand that learning is a slow process that requires lot
of patience. The reason to underline this statement is that many students think they have the
self-belief to do last minute single reading and get through the subject. Getting through the
subject may not be a problem, but scoring high marks according to the potential one possesses
students in the learning processes and cognitive performance. This behavior appears within a
person because of the failure in self-regulation and he/she normally experiences lack of
achievement goal orientations in studies. As a result, lazy students have low enthusiasm in their
way of thinking, tendency, habits and behavior. Thus, this study measured laziness through self-
regulation by using heart rate variability (HRV) biofeed back technique. The objectives of this
research are to design and test the biofeed back script as a measurement of their self-regulation's
ability and to compare the HRV coherence score between low and good academic performances
Samples consisted of 20 students at the age of sixteen with different background of academic
performances.
The t-testrevealed that the low academic performance failed to achieve the
targetedgoal which explained their low level of self-regulation. The LF activity was higher for
the good academic performance in the biofeedback training using diaphragmatic breathing
technique, zikr and self-regulation script. As a summary, low academic performances group
demonstrated higher level of laziness compared to the good academic performances. Their
performance and effort enhancement in the clinical experimental explained the levels of self-
regulation which described their laziness. Wan Rusyaini Wan Mohd (2015)
Time, energy and money-saving advances have mechanised our way of life and reduced
the amount of time we spend moving. Opportunities to sit are virtually everywhere: at work,
school, during transportation and at home. Since most people blame lack of time as their main
excuse for not being active, it is ironic that on average we waste over three hours watching
television per day. We have not been educated that it doesn't cost anything to be more active in
everyday life. For example use the car less, walk more, walk up the escalators and use the stairs
We procrastinate for a wide variety of reasons, such as fear or simply laziness. However,
there’s also an evolutionary motivation behind laziness. Our ancestors lived in a world where
food sources were nowhere near as plentiful as today. As such, they conserved energy for the
times when they entered survival mode: hunting, foraging, exploration, building and so on. If an
ancestor of ours wasted his energy on useless tasks, he wouldn’t be able to cope with the
hardships of food gathering. So, in a counterintuitive evolutionary twist, laziness has proven to
Call it laziness, sloth, ineptitude, idleness, or whatever you like but the idea of doing
nothing when things need to be done is often considered to be a sign of weakness or shirking.
Sometimes laziness happens when you don't want to face something, like a boring chore or a
difficult confrontation with someone. Other times, it might be because you feel overwhelmed
and think the task needs a whole team rather than just you. And then there are those times where
you really just can't be bothered. In any case, it's simply not a desirable trait. Paul Chernyak

A person is being lazy if he is able to carry out some activity that he ought to carry out,
but is disinclined to do so because of the effort involved. Instead, he carries out the activity
perfunctorily; or engages in some other, less strenuous or less boring activity; or remains idle. In
short, he is being lazy if his motivation to spare himself effort trumps his motivation to do the
Indolence derives from the Latin indolentia, ‘without pain’ or ‘without taking trouble’. Sloth has
more moral and spiritual overtones than laziness or indolence. In the Christian tradition, sloth is
one of the seven deadly sins because it undermines society and God’s plan, and because it invites
sin. The Bible inveighs against slothfulness, for example, in the Book of Ecclesiastes: 'By much
slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house drop peth
through. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answer all the things.'
postpone a task in favour of other tasks, which, though perceived as easier or more pleasurable,
are typically less important or urgent.To postpone a task for constructive or strategic purposes
does not amount to procrastination. For it to amount to procrastination, the postponement has to
represent poor and ineffective planning, and result in a higher overall cost to the procrastinator,
for example, in the form of stress, guilt, or loss of productivity. It is one thing to delay a tax
return until all the figures are in, but quite another to delay it so that it upsets plans and people
Accoding to Thomas (2013) Laziness and procrastination are similar in that they both
involve a lack of motivation. But, unlike a lazy person, a procrastinator aspires and intends to
complete the task and, moreover, does eventually complete it, albeit at a higher cost to himself.
In most cases, it is deemed painful to expend effort on long-term goals that do not
provide immediate gratification. For a person to embark on a project, he has to value the return
on his labour more than his loss of comfort. The problem is that he is disinclined to trust in a
return that is both distant and uncertain. Because self-confident people are more apt to trust in
the success and pay-off of their undertakings (and may even overestimate their likely returns),
they are much more likely to overcome their natural laziness. Flores (2014)
Many lazy people are not intrinsically lazy, but are lazy because they have not found
what they want to do, or because, for one reason or another, they are not doing it. To make
matters worse, the job that pays their bills may have become so abstract and specialized that they
can no longer fully grasp its purpose or product, and, by extension, their part in bettering other
peoples' lives. A builder can look upon the houses that he has built, and a doctor can take pride
and satisfaction in the restored health and gratitude of his patients, but an assistant deputy
financial controller in a large corporation cannot be at all certain of the effect of his labour.
Castro (2012)
Navarro (2011) Other factors that can lead to laziness are fear and hopelessness. Some
people fear success, or do not have sufficient self-esteem to feel comfortable with success, and
laziness is one way in which they can sabotage themself. Shakespeare conveys this idea much
more eloquently and succinctly in Antony and Cleopatra: 'Fortune knows we scorn her most
when most she offers blows.' Conversely, some people fear failure, and laziness is preferable to
failure because it is at one remove. "It's not that I failed," they tell themselves, "it's that I never
tried."
Andrada (2015) Other people are lazy because they see their situation as being so
hopeless that they cannot even begin to think through it, let alone address it. Because these
people do not have the ability to think through and address their situation, it could be argued that
they are not truly lazy, and, to some extent, the same could be said of all lazy people. In other
words, the very concept of laziness presupposes the ability to choose not to be lazy, that is,
There are connections to laziness and our ability to survive, and we are wired to only take
on tasks that ensure survival. Humans may be lazy at our core because we tend to do actions that
have immediate results. This goes back to our primitive days, where we would have to do those
things that brought results right away. It could have been hunting, preparing food, or seeking
shelter. Today, most of us don’t have to worry about those things, so nothing is driving us for
Having Low Energy This will be the main cause of laziness for most people. Since we
don’t have to worry as much about survival, it makes modern life much easier. But that’s not to
say modern life isn’t draining. There are still many things that require our attention, and day-to-
day life can zap you of your energy. When your gas tank is on empty, it’s much more appealing
to be lazy. If this is the case, you need to correct this by looking at your lifestyle. Castillo (2009).
