Solomon & Rothblum’s Procrastination Assessment Scale for Student was filled out for all subjects. Then, subjects of test group participated in a time management training program for 8 sessions, while those in the control received no intervention. At the end of the training program, the questionnaire was again filled out by all subjects and the obtained data were analyzed using the univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance.
