Abstract: (69 Views)
Objective: The current investigation was undertaken with the objective of examining the psychometric metrics of the academic procrastination scale among final year students in public high schools located in Yasouj city.
Methods: This inquiry is classified as descriptive research with a correlational design. The statistical population for this study comprised all final year students enrolled in public high schools in Yasouj, amounting to a total of 4000 individuals. The sample size was determined to be 380, utilizing Cochran's formula while considering potential subject attrition. A multi-stage cluster sampling approach was employed to select the cohort of students under investigation. To assess the variable of academic procrastination, the Sawari scale (2013) was utilized. The data from this study were subjected to analysis through descriptive statistical techniques, specifically by means of mean and standard deviation measures, and through inferential statistical methods via confirmatory factor analysis.
Results: The findings of this research indicated that the factor loadings for all items within this scale were at an optimal threshold (exceeding .30). Furthermore, the fit indices for the evaluated model fell within an acceptable range and achieved the requisite significance level (P<.05).
Conclusions: Consequently, the current scale is deemed suitable for the assessment of academic procrastination among final year high school students, and its findings may contribute to the field of psychological research.
