RESULTS: Pearson’s results show that there is a positive correlation for age, fear of failure, aversiveness of task, difficulty making decisions, dependency, lack of assertion, risk taking, and rebellion against control. The results of the linear regression test showed that aversiveness of task, dependency, and lack of assertion were the strongest predictors of students’ reasons for procrastinating.
