This study investigated effects of stress and procrastination on academic satisfaction, N = 707. Academic stress and hours spent on academic work (r = .165) and procrastination and stress (r = .337) were positively correlated while procrastination and academic satisfaction (r = -.341) and stress and academic satisfaction (r = -.339) were negatively correlated. Procrastination, academic satisfaction, and hours spent on academic work were all significant factors in a regression model accounting for 21.4% of variance. Further studies should examine procrastination among college students.
