The relationships between motivational beliefs with procrastination and class climate have been shown in previous studies. In this study, the psychometric properties of Classroom Learning Environment (CEL) Questionnaire were presented, and the mediating role of motivational beliefs in relationship between class climate and procrastination examined. 196 students of Birjand University were selected by cluster sampling. The research tools were Procrastination Assessment Scale (PASS Student Version), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and CLE Questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis and multivariate regression. The findings showed that the class environment effected indirectly procrastination through motivational beliefs. Class atmosphere and motivational beliefs explained 28% of the procrastination variance. It also showed that the components of test anxiety and self-efficacy from motivational beliefs were predictive power of procrastination. According to these findings, motivational beliefs have a mediating role in relationship between the class climate and procrastination and should be considered in setting learning environment.

Emotional regulation styles insist on concealing, adjusting and tolerating. 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.
