has many negative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to predict college
students’ academic procrastination based on
self efficacy, self regulation, perfectionism, fear of negative

and gender. This research employed a
correlational study. Statistical population involved all the students in
Tehran University. 272 students selected through relative classification
sampling from different faculties. Data were collected by: goal orientation
scale by Elliot & McGregor, brief fear of negative evaluation scale by
Leary, multidimensional perfectionism scale by Forest et al, self efficacy scale by Sherer, self esteem
inventory by Rozenberg, academic
procrastination assessment scale by Solomon and Routhblum, self
regulation questionnaire by Pentrich & Digorat, interest in filed of study
questionnaire by Hedayati et al. Data were analyzed with backward regression,
independent t-test, and anova. Results indicated that doubt in works, value extrinsic goals, could predict
academic procrastination positively and self efficacy, interest
in the field of the study, organization, mastery–approach and performance–approach goal orientation, could predict
academic procrastination negatively.
