The objective of this research is to perform a psychometric analysis of the New Active Procrastination Scale (NAPS). The instrumental investigation included the participation of 472 students (66.1% women; Mage = 20,138) from three professional careers at a private university in Lima. The results show that the four-dimensional structure (preference for pressure, intentional decision, ability to meet deadlines, and outcome satisfaction) presents favorable evidence (proper adjustment indexes, items with moderate factorial loads and factorial simplicity). Furthermore, the bivariate association between the dimensions of the construct and the measures of academic burnout, depression and anxiety was significant (r> .20), although a subsequent hierarchical regression indicated that it only provides a significant variation to academic burnout (ΔR2> .10). Finally, the reliability coefficients were acceptable (> .70). In conclusion, the NAPS have favorable psychometric evidence in Peruvian college students. El objetivo fue realizar un análisis psicométrico de la Nueva Escala de Procrastinación Activa (NEPA). La investigación instrumental contó con la participación de 472 estudiantes (66.1% mujeres; Medad = 20.138) de tres carreras profesionales de una universidad privada de Lima. Los resultados muestran que la estructura de cuatro dimensiones (preferencia por la presión, decisión intencional, habilidad para cumplir los plazos, y satisfacción con los resultados) presenta evidencia favorable (adecuados índices de ajuste, ítems con cargas factoriales moderadas y simplicidad factorial). Asimismo, la asociación bivariada entre las dimensiones del constructo y medidas de procrastinación pasiva, burnout académico, ansiedad y depresión fue significativa (r > .20), aunque una regresión jerárquica llevada a cabo posteriormente indicó que solo aporta varianza significativa al burnout académico (ΔR2 > .10). Por último, todos los coeficientes de confiabilidad fueron aceptables (> .70). Se concluye que la NEPA cuenta con evidencia psicométrica favorable en estudiantes universitarios peruanos. - Universidad Nacional de Córdoba 2022-12-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/29800 10.32348/1852.4206.v14.n3.29800 Argentinean Journal of Behavioral Sciences; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2022): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; 52-66 Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2022): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; 52-66 1852-4206 10.32348/1852.4206.v14.n3 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/29800/40213 Derechos de autor 2022 Sergio Dominguez-Lara, Fiorela Rodríguez- Sullca, Rodrigo Moreta-Herrera http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
