<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Objective</em></strong>: The present study examines the relationship between procrastination and mental well-being. The current study assumes that procrastination and negative emotional symptoms are related to poorer mental well-being. <strong><em>Method</em></strong><strong>:</strong> Participants from Saudi Arabia (N=886; females 344, 38.8% and 542 males, 61.2% ; M<sub>age</sub> = 24.33, SD = 5.68). In the parent study, participants completed online questionnaires on the Irrational Procrastination Scale (IPS), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). <strong><em>Results</em></strong>: As hypothesized, males procrastinated more than females. Furthermore, single ones procrastinated more than married ones. Depending on the study assumption, procrastination is related to higher levels of DASS-21 and decreased well-being. <strong><em>Conclusions</em></strong>: These findings suggest that depression and anxiety were directly associated with well-being, and procrastination was indirectly associated with well-being, where stress has mediated as an indicator of maladjustment.</p>
