Summary/Abstract: Procrastination is defined as an irrational tendency to delay the beginning and/or completion of different tasks. In the present study we focused on validating the student version of the Procrastination Inventory, developed by Lay (1986), on the Romanian population. A sample of 125 first year students participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that from the original 20 items only 13 were adequate for the Romanian population. Two negatively correlated factors were obtained and identified as assignment procrastination and general promptness.
