The negative effects of academic procrastinaton in terms of academic
performance to the selected Grade 11 students at Samson College of Science and
Technology
Introduction
Academic procrastination was negatively correlated with academic achievements.
However, higher correlations were found for specific task grades measured, when grades
were not self-reported, when procrastination was self-reported and when performance
was externally observed. (Kim and Seo, 2015)
