| Abstract: |
To explore the current state of self-control among master's students and its impact on learning outcomes, a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods was adopted. A stratified random sampling method was used to distribute questionnaires to 522 master's students from nearly 20 universities in China. Based on the survey results, the study examined self-control from four dimensions: impulse control, resistance to temptation, concentration on studies, and healthy habits. The learning outcomes were assessed in three dimensions: disciplinary knowledge and skills, research capabilities, and professional attitudes. Results from stratified linear regression analysis indicate that master's students in China generally lack self-control, which is influenced by multiple factors and significantly impacts their learning outcomes.
