Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the causal-structural fitness of academic procrastination in relation to academic resilience, with social anxiety serving as a mediator. The correlation study conducted in this study employs structural equation modeling. This study examined the statistical population of female high school pupils in the academic years of 2021-2022 in the cities of Tiran and Karvan County in Isfahan Province. The sample size was selected based on Kline model (2023) and with cluster sampling method of 322 students. The academic procrastination questionnaire (APQ), Academic Resilience Inventory (ARI), and Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) were utilized for data collection. Statistical analysis of data was performed using AMOS-24 software. The findings showed that the direct effect of academic resilience and social anxiety were significant on academic procrastination. Additionally, the findings indicated that social anxiety serves as a mediator in the relationship between academic resilience and academic procrastination. In addition, the proposed model demonstrated an acceptable fit to the data (RMSEA=0/066, P-value<0/05). The analyzes also revealed that academic resilience accounted for 75% of the variance in academic procrastination through the mediating role of social anxiety. Consequently, academic resilience and social anxiety are factors that influence students' academic procrastination. Therefore, educational environments should endeavor to foster academic resilience and alleviate social anxiety among students.
