A sample of 266 students was selected, applying a survey that included the Academic Procrastination Instrument (EPA) to assess academic self-regulation and postponement of activities. The results showed that the majority of the students (61.3%) exhibit a medium level of procrastination, followed by 29.3% with a high level. In conclusion, the research underscores the significant presence of academic procrastination among psychology students, with a tendency towards medium levels of procrastination.
