& Choi, 2005), depression, anxiety, stress (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995),
and life satisfaction (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) were
uploaded on a website in English and Urdu. Overall 223 educated
Pakistani adolescent participated via online in the study (M = 19 years,

sound internal consistency in all the measures. The Findings highlighted

entirely different implications. There were significant negative

However a positive relationship was found between passive
procrastination and depression, anxiety and stress. Life satisfaction was
found to be positively correlated with active procrastination whereas
ngatively with passive procrastination. No significant differences were
observed on demographic variables. One-way MANOVA revealed
significant differences among non-procrastinators, active procrastinators,
and passive procrastinators. Limitations and future directions for online
