The results showed: 1) There was a significant negative relationship between self-regulated learning and academic procrastination with a value of r = -4.125 and a value of p = 0.00 (p <0.05). 2) There is a significant positive relationship between the intensity of social media and academic procrastination with r=5.111 and p=0.00 (p<0.05). 3) There is a significant positive relationship between self-regulated learning and the intensity of social media simultaneously with academic procrastination with a value of F=15.106 and a value of p=0.00 (p<0.05). 4) The effective contribution (R2) of the two variables is 30.5%.
