“…Research with university students highlights the inverse relationship between academic procrastination and selfregulated learning (e.g., Hong et al, 2021;Howell et al, 2006;Senécal et al, 1995;Wolters, 2003), defined as "an active, constructive process whereby learners set goals for their learning and then attempt to monitor, regulate, and control their cognition, motivation, and behavior, guided and constrained by their goals and the contextual features in the environment" (Pintrich, 2000, p. 453). More specifically, the failure to engage in self-regulated learning has traditionally been considered an antecedent of academic procrastination (Schraw et al, 2007;Sirois & Pychyl, 2013) and evidenced in several previous studies (e.g., Ergulec et al, 2022;Zarrin et al, 2020). For example, self-efficacy for learning and selfregulation strategies (e.g., Wolters, 2003), as well as selfefficacy in applying these strategies (Tan et al, 2008), are the self-regulated learning dimensions that show the greatest relationships with academic delays in several studies with university students (Klassen et al, 2011).…”
