Abstract :
Procrastination, the act of delaying or
postponing a task, has been associated with negative
outcomes such as reduced productivity and increased
stress. Contrarily, perceived stress relates to a person's
subjective assessment of the expectations imposed on
them and their capacity to handle those demands. The
purpose of the current study was to investigate how
young individuals' perceptions of stress and
procrastination relate to one another. The
Procrastination Scale (PS) by Bruce W. Tuckman and the
Perceived Stress Scale by Sheldon Cohen, Tom Kamarck,
and Robin Mermelstein were the instruments utilized in
the study. 101 participants were selected using purposive
sampling in which 61 were male and 40 were females. Age
group of the participants were 18-21 years. The study
signifies that there are no significant influences on
perceived stress and procrastination among young adults.
