Background of the Study

According to the study of Visser et al. (2018) suggest that procrastination is

complex behavior that involves both cognitive and emotional elements as well as

evaluations of one’s own competence. Recent research suggests that instead of being

purely a self-regulation or time management problem, procrastination is also strongly

influenced by psychological factors, such as the low confidence in one’s own abilities to

perform. Eisenbeck et al. (2019) found that procrastination and psychological distress were

associated with psychological inflexibility and further, psychological inflexibility mediated the

relationship between general psychological distress and procrastination. The role of

psychological flexibility’s sub-processes in procrastination among students has also been

studied, and it was found that committed actions were moderately negatively correlated with

procrastination suggesting that committed action could be a promising variable in the study

of procrastination

Procrastination is a widespread phenomenon in academic settings. It has been

studied from many different theoretical angles, and a variety of causes and consequences

have been suggested. Recent studies support the notion that academic procrastination can

be seen from a situational perspective and as a failure in learning self-regulation ( Zacks and

Hen 2018).

On the study of Grunschel, Patrzek, Klingsieck & Fries (2018) found that

procrastinators who completed a five-week group training based on a cyclical process model

of self-regulated learning significantly reduced academic procrastination and reported

improved time management skills.

studying procrastination and final course grade when mediated by three different measures

of participation in online course assignments. She observed negative but weak direct

relationships between self- reported academic procrastination and academic achievement

and stressed the need for further study of academic interventions for academic

Procrastination is the act of unnecessarily and voluntarily delaying or postponing something
