One of the efficacious components on procrastination is the lack of emotional regulation and disability of emotional self- regulation.

This research was conducted to study the relationship between the procrastination behaviors of high school male students and emotional styles. The sample consisted of 252 students, which were selected through cluster random sampling method from schools of Rasht. The instrumentals used in the study were Procrastination questionnaire, and emotional styles. Data were analyzed by multiple regression (stepwise) method. The results showed that adjusting (Beta= 0.33) and tolerating are (Beta= 0.14) important predictor of procrastinations (p= 0.001). In addition, it was found that 11% of the variance of procrastination was accounted by linear combination of adjusting and tolerating decision making style.
