Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between academic procrastination and emotional regulation in university students of Physical Therapy and Clinical Laboratory, through a non-experimental, quantitative, correlational and crosssectional study, in 226 participants selected through a non-probabilistic sample by convenience. The instruments used were the Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA) and the Emotional Regulation Scale (ERQ). It was determined that there is a slight positive correlation between academic self-regulation and cognitive reappraisal (Rho=0.279, p<00.1), likewise, a slight positive correlation between academic self-regulation and emotional suppression (Rho=0.274, p<0.01), while there was no relationship between procrastination and emotional regulation dimensions, and there was no statistically significant difference in academic procrastination between men and women.
