El propósito de esta investigación es descubrir si la procrastinación académica disminuye a lo largo del tiempo, y si esta disminución se explica por el factor edad, por el factor curso, o por una combinación de ambas variables. Se administró la Procrastination Assessment Scale Students (pass) a una muestra de 105 alumnos universitarios, que se dividieron en cuatro grupos independientes en función de si eran menores o mayores de 25 años y del curso académico que hacían. Los resultados indican que el nivel de procrastinación solo depende de la edad y no del curso de los alumnos, y amplían el conocimiento empírico sobre procrastinación académica en la universidad.

The purpose of this study was to discover whether academic procrastination decreases over time and if this decrease is explained by age, the academic year, or a combination of both. The Procrastination Assessment Scale Students (pass) was administered to a sample of 105 university students who were divided into four separate groups depending on whether they were under or over 25 years and the academic year they were in. The results indicate that the procrastination level depends only on the age and not on the year the students were in and broaden the empirical knowledge about academic procrastination in college.
