We examined the relationships between active procrastination, flow, self-regulated learning, and academic achievement in 278 Korean undergraduate students in order to extend the existing research on active procrastination. We used two hierarchical multiple regressions to identify significant predictors of active procrastination and academic achievement. The results showed that flow and self-regulated learning were significant factors in predicting active procrastination. The findings also indicated that although active procrastination had a significant effect on academic achievement, flow and self-regulated learning better explained academic achievement than did active procrastination. Our findings offered a more in depth understanding of active procrastination than has been achieved in previous research and explained why active procrastinators can obtain satisfactory results.

To examine the relationship of religion and perceived stress, 97 undergraduate college students responded to the Perceived Stress Scale, the Spiritual Well-being Scale, and the Intrinsic/Extrinsic–Revised scale during a period of extreme national stressors during Fall 2001, namely, the September 11th terrorist attacks, anthrax scare, and war in Afghanistan, in addition to the local stressor of pending final college examinations. Scores on the Perceived Stress Scale were negatively correlated to scores on Existential Well-being (–.66), Religious Well-being (–.43), and Intrinsic Religious Orientation (–.44). Age was unrelated to all variables. Both the quality (well-being) of students' religious experience and the orientation of that experience were related to their perception of stress.
