Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Academic Procrastination Scale (original) (raw)

This study verified the construct validity and reliability of the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS). Undergraduate students (N = 1153) from 5 different colleges at the University of Eastern Philippines completed the APS. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) indicated that a three-factor structure of the APS provided a good fit to the data. The APS dimensions and items had moderate to high internal consistency reliabilities indicating the usefulness of the scale in measuring the dilatory behavior of students especially in college setting. These results support the utility of the scale for research and in theory development of academic procrastination.
