Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of an academic procrastination scale using the Rasch Model and Winstep software. A questionnaire was administered to 503 students at a public high school in Mojokerto, Indonesia. The results indicated that the scale has good validity and reliability for measuring academic procrastination. However, certain items require improvement, particularly the B9 items, which lack discriminatory power against different groups. Furthermore, some items tend to cluster at moderate levels of distribution. These findings have important implications for the construction of a more adequate instrument for measuring academic procrastination.
