Academic Procrastination and the Stress of University Students of Electronic Engineering from the Callao Region
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to establish correspondence between procrastination and academic stress
in students of the School of Electronic Engineering of a public university in the Callao Region. The
research was developed under the positivist approach, quantitative methodology, and basic type,
non-experimental and transversal design. The sample consisted of 205 students calculated by simple
random probabilistic sampling. Two questionnaire s were applied to evaluate procrastination and
stress which were validated by Cronbach alpha with values of .853 and .943 respectively. The results
confirm the correspondence between procrastination and academic stress in students (Spearman's
Rho,841). The work concludes that greater dilatory behavior, indecisions, lack of punctuality and
lack of planning will tend to increase levels of academic stress.
