Psychometric Dataset on Disorganization, Fear of Failure, Academic Procrastination, and Academic Performance among Indonesian Higher Education Students

The dataset comprises individual-level responses collected through a structured survey instrument administered between August and December 2024. The data encompass four core constructs: Disorganization (DIS), Fear of Failure (FOF), Academic Procrastination (APC), and Academic Performance (APR), each measured through multiple Likert-scale items on a 5-point scale (1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree).

The dataset includes responses from 2,111 higher education students spanning diploma, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs across East and Central Java. Each row in the dataset represents a single respondent, and each column corresponds to a specific survey item derived from previously validated psychometric instruments.

The structure of the dataset is as follows:
DIS1–DIS5: Indicators measuring students’ disorganized academic behavior, such as difficulty structuring study time and planning tasks.
FOF1–FOF5: Indicators reflecting fear-based emotional responses to failure, including anxiety about evaluation and concern for others’ perceptions.
APC1–APC5: Indicators capturing behavioral tendencies toward academic procrastination.
APR1–APR4: Indicators of perceived academic competence and performance.

The data have been cleaned and prepared for advanced statistical analysis, including mediation and moderation modeling using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques. This dataset is instrumental for understanding cognitive-behavioral mechanisms in higher education, particularly in the context of developing countries like Indonesia, and aligns with the broader agenda of educational quality improvement and student success.
