Abstract

This study examined correlates of academic procrastination and students' grade goals in a sample of 226 undergraduates from Singapore. Findings indicated that self-efficacy for self-regulated learning was significantly and negatively related to procrastination. High self-efficacy for self-regulated learning also predicted students' expectations of doing well and low self-efficacy for self-regulated learning predicted students' expectations of not doing well academically. Additionally, help-seeking predicted students' expectations of doing well academically while academic stress predicted students' expectations of not doing well academically. Implications for education and educational practice were discussed.
