Abstract

Procrastination is the tendency to delay tasks. From starting to finishing a job only to do useless activities, eventually leading to regret (Solomon and Rothblum, 1984). There are two consequences of procrastination; these include the emergence of negative emotions, regret, self-blame, and hopelessness. One of the factors that cause individuals to procrastinate is peer conformity, i.e., changes in individual behavior to align themselves more closely with group/friend standards. Changes in behavior that are carried out are not just behaving or acting according to what other people do but are also influenced by how the group acts. This study aims to determine how the contribution of peer conformity to student procrastination. This study uses a quantitative approach. The sample of this study consisted of 348 students at one of the public universities in Makassar City. Academic procrastination was measured by using a scale created by Rindita Ratu C. (2017), which refers to the aspect of procrastination according to Ferrari (1995). Meanwhile, peer conformity is obtained using the scale created by Rindita Ratu C. (2017), which refers to the conformity aspect proposed by Taylor (2009). Hypothesis testing using simple regression analysis using IBM SPSS 18 for windows. The R-square value is 0.311, which means that the peer conformity variable has an effect of 31.1%, and other variables influence the rest. Peer conformity variable shows a significance value of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05, and the t-count value is 9.174, which is greater than the t-table value of 1.965. It can be concluded that there is a contribution of peer conformity to academic procrastination. β value obtained in the peer conformity variable is 0.422. This means that adding 1 unit of the peer conformity variable will increase the student’s academic procrastination by 0.422.
