Abstract

This research is motivated by the still high incidence of academic procrastination among junior high school students. The purpose of this research is to examine whether academic self-efficacy and parental support contribute to students' academic procrastination. This research used a cross-sectional design, with a sample of 250 students selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The research instruments used included measurements of academic self-efficacy, parental support, and academic procrastination. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with the help of SPSS version 25.00. Research findings show that academic self-efficacy contributes negatively to academic procrastination (standardized beta = -.613, sig = .000), and parental support also shows a significant contribution (standardized beta = -.215, sig = .000). The implications of this research highlight the need to increase students' self-efficacy and parental support through a series of psychological interventions to reduce cases of academic procrastination among students.
