BURGOS-TORRE, Kattya S.  and  SALAS-BLAS, Edwin. Procrastination and Academic Self-efficacy in University Students from Lima. Propós. represent. [online]. 2020, vol.8, n.3, e790. ISSN 2307-7999.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20511/pyr2020.v8n3.790.

This research is cross-sectional study with correlational design (Hernández-Sampieri & Mendoza, 2018). The objective is to relate procrastination and self-efficacy in the academic context. 178 university students participated, who were administered the Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA, Dominguez, Villegas & Centeno, 2014) and the Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale for Academic Situations (EAPESA, Dominguez, Villegas, Yauri, Mattos & Ramírez, 2012). It was found that the variables are correlated, the academic self-regulation correlates positively with academic self- efficacy (.39); specifically, the postponement of activities dimension negatively correlates with self- efficacy (-.23), It was also found that there are differences in the two variables when comparing the three groups of students by semesters, the students of intermediate semesters present higher levels of postponement of activities than those who star studies and those how finish studies, also it was found there are differences between gender; women have higher levels of academic self-regulation.

Keywords : academic procrastination; academic self-efficacy; academic self-regulation; university students.
