Abstract

Academic procrastination is an act of delaying the completion of academic tasks that lead to the decline in academic achievement. This study strived for analyzing the effects of self-regulated learning and peer conformity on academic procrastination. It used a correlational design and involved 72 students in grade eight at SMP Negeri 20 Semarang in the academic year of 2022/2023 as the sample. In analyzing the data, multiple linear regression test was used. Findings showed that self-regulated learning negatively correlated with academic procrastination, while peer conformity positively correlated with students’ academic procrastination. Thus, self-regulated learning and peer conformity need to become concern to give interventions for academic procrastination.
