Abstract
The purpose of this research is to test the Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) by correlating academic procrastination and achievement motivation on psychology students. Subjects were every psychology student of University of Surabaya from generation 2008 to 2011, focusing on those who were still active on the first semester of the 2011/2012 study term (N = 518). Data were collected with three instruments: Aitken Procrastination Inventory (API), Achievement Motivation Inventory (AMI) (short version), and the Utilitas Tugas (UT) Inventory. Results show a negative corellation between academic procrastination and achievement motivation (r = - .481). One of the aspects of achievement motivation, the task-related motivation, is found to be the root of relation between academic procrastination and achievement motivation.
