Abstract The current study investigates the difference in academic procrastination between screen-addicted and non-addicted students. Academic Procrastination was measured by the academic procrastination Scale developed by Savita Gupta and Liqayat Bashir . It has four Dimensions namely Time Management, Task Aversiveness, Sincerity and Personal Initiative. The scale contains 30 items, scored on a five-point continuum from 5 to 1, with higher scores indicating a higher level of academic procrastination. A comparative research design was utilized in the study. Students in the sample included those who were classified as screen-addicted and non-addicted based on their screen use patterns. Data analysis using statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation and t-test. Outcome showed that students addicted to screens had significantly higher levels of academic procrastination than non-addicted students across all dimensions of procrastination. Similarly, a positive correlation was found between screen addiction and academic procrastination. The study points out the adverse effects of excessive screen exposure on students’ academic behavior and emphasizes the importance of effective intervention strategies to improve students’ time management and self-regulation.
