Description

INTRODUCTION Procrastination has been defined as the putting off or delaying of a task (Solomon and Rothblum1984). In fact, procrastination is so prevalent in universities and colleges, researchers have coined the term "academic procrastination" to refer to the delaying of completing an academic task (Rothblum, Solomon, and Murakami 1986). Approximately 20% of all adults are chronic procrastinators (Harriott and Ferrari 1996), and according to Solomon and Rothblum (1984), 46% of students admit to having procrastinated on an academic task.
