The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between high school students' academic procrastination behaviors, efficacy beliefs, and attitudes towards homework. This study has shown that students with low academic and/or social efficacy belief engage in more academic procrastination behavior than those with high academic and/or social efficacy belief and that students with high academic, social, and/or emotional efficacy belief have a more positive attitude towards homework than those with low academic, social, and/or emotional efficacy belief. There was no significant statistical difference in academic procrastination behavior based on low or high emotional efficacy belief. This study examines the relationship between high school students' efficacy beliefs, academic procrastination behaviors, and their attitude towards homework in order to address the fact that in the literature there was no study on the correlation between efficacy belief and both academic procrastination and attitude towards homework.


Procrastination is a widespread phenomenon in educational settings. This study aimed to determine the relationship between academic procrastination regarding study habits and self-reported executive functions in high school students. In a sample of 52 students, the following instruments were applied: Academic Procrastination Scale (APS), Study Habits Inventory (SHI), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF®) and as a control variable, anxiety was measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The results indicated that high school students had moderate procrastination scores that were negatively correlated with the SHI scores. A significant correlation was also found between the APS and the scales associated with the Metacognition Index (MI) as measured by BRIEF®. It is concluded that students who procrastinate have difficulty organizing, planning and assimilating school content. The implementation of strategies for study habits in high school students is suggested, which would result in an impact on their metacognition.
