Popis:	This study examined, we believe for the first time, the relationship between hope and academic procrastination. One hundred and sixteen graduate students enrolled in an introductory-level educational research course at a mid-southern university were administered the Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS), and the Adult Hope Scale that operationalizes hope as a reciprocal combination of pathways and agency thinking. Findings suggest that both hope factors helped predict academic procrastination with respect to fear of failure, but not task aversiveness. Suggestions for a deeper understanding of the role of hope in mitigating procrastination are offered.
