3.1 Research Design

The descriptive method of research was used in this study. Descriptive method is a fact-

finding study with adequate and accurate interpretation of the results. It describe with emphasis

on what actually exist, or any practices that is involved on our study habits. Since this study

students academic procrastination behavior. Differences between the procrastination levels of

participants in relationship to gender were analyzed using independent samples t-tests.

Procrastination. The study examined the influence of academic procrastination and personality

types on the academic achievement and efficacy of In-school adolescents in Binalbagan Catholic

College. Forty participants were randomly selected from four schools in Akinyele Local

Government area of Oyo state. Multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the

variables to the prediction of the dependent variables. The results showed positive relationship

between extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness and academic achievement of

the students.  As was pointed out in Chapter Two, researchers have tended to use behavioral

delay to measure academic procrastination .
