Construct validity was done based on confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency reliability and consistency reliability of the questionnaire were calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and retesting in all students and by gender. SPSS-26 and AMOS-24 software were used for data analysis.
Results: The findings related to the determination of the psychometric indicators of the academic procrastination scale were reported in three sections: validity, validity and standardization. In order to improve the fit of the single-factor model, items 1, 11, 14, 16, 24 and 25 were removed due to factor loadings less than 0.3. The chi-square goodness of fit index was obtained after modifying the model. Therefore, the single-factor model of academic procrastination tool was confirmed in students. According to the significance of the test (P < 0.001), the current scale has an acceptable and appropriate reliability of temporal stability or repeatability.
