Abstract
The present study examined the relationship among emotional intelligence, anxiety and procrastination of
intermediate science students. It was hypothesized that there would be negative relationship between emotional
intelligence and procrastination. It was further hypothesized that there would be a positive relationship between
anxiety and procrastination. Furthermore, it was expected that anxiety and emotional intelligence would predict
procrastination. Passive Procrastination Scale (Chu & Choi, 2005), Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence
Test (Schutte et al., 1998) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch &Lushene, 1970) were
administered on a sample of 102 female students from science faculty of public sector colleges. Results from
Pearson product moment correlation revealed no relationship of emotional intelligence with procrastination and
anxiety. However, a positive relationship was found between trait anxiety and procrastination. Regression
analysis revealed that trait anxiety predicted procrastination after taking into account the emotional intelligence
and state anxiety.
