Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the factor structure of the Active Procrastination Scale, to examine the difference between active and passive academic procrastination and to explore their relationships with different variables. 205 students participated in the study. Instruments assessing students' active and passive procrastination, achievement goals, test anxiety, fear of failure and self-efficacy, were used in this study. Exploratory factor analysis revealed existence of four factors: preference for pressure, intentional decision to delay, ability to meet deadlines and outcome satisfaction. The results of correlation analysis show that factor intentional decision to delay is positively correlated with passive procrastination and ability to meet deadlines negatively. Preference for pressure is negatively correlated with all achievement goals, intentional decision to delay positively with mastery-avoidance goal, ability to meet deadlines and outcome satisfaction negatively with avoidance goals and passive procrastination positively with avoidance goals. Preference for pressure, ability to meet deadlines and outcome satisfaction are negatively correlated with test anxiety and fear of failure and positively with self-efficacy. Intentional decision to delay and passive procrastination are positively correlated with fear of failure. Passive procrastination is negatively correlated with self-efficacy and grade average and positively with test anxiety. Ability to meet deadlines is positively correlated with grade average.
