Understanding Procrastination from a Self-Regulated Learning Perspective.
Wolters, Christopher A.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n1 p179-87 Mar 2003
Reports on two studies examining procrastination and its relation to several key components of self-regulated learning using self-report surveys. Results indicate that procrastination was related to college students' self-efficacy and work-avoidant goal orientation and, to a lesser extent, their use of metacognitive strategies. (Contains 54 references and 4 tables.) (GCP)
