Abstract
The current research was conducted to determine the mediating role of negative Affection toward self- forgiveness, and procrastination in male students of the University of Tabriz. Therefore, 361 male students between 18-22 were selected by a random cluster sampling method from three groups of Technical and engineering, basic science and human science faculties. The General Procrastination, Decisional Procrastination, Positive and Negative Affect, and Heartland Forgiveness inventories were used to gather the data. The theoretical model was tested within a structural equation- modelling framework to identify both direct and indirect effects. The results indicate an overall fit model. Although the direct effects of self-forgiveness on decisional and general procrastination behaviours were not significant, thus, an indirect impact of self-forgiveness on the decisional and general procrastination behaviours were fully mediated by negative affection. Also, the effect of self-forgiveness on negative affect and academic procrastination, the training was essential for students.

Procrastination is considered as a phenomenon of rational thought, to postpone essential tasks unnecessarily until specific a deadline or completed later
Self-forgiveness has a negative correlation with negative affect (p
There are two indirect effects; one is between self- forgiveness tendency and negative affect (β = .191), the other is between self- forgiveness tendency with decisional procrastination by medizing the negative effects (β = -.199)
Summary
Procrastination is considered as a phenomenon of rational thought, to postpone essential tasks unnecessarily until specific a deadline or completed later. Major studies focused on the procrastination that leads to self-defeating and maladaptive behaviours It defined as a self-regulation failure behaviour by self-harming to reach one’s goals as a transgression against the self. Both abuse and over-eating behaviours origin from the self-regulatory failures (as approach behaviours) In such a way, empirical evidence suggested that the self-critics are less autonomous as a mechanism to reduce motivation. Self-forgiveness is considered as a crucial step for the motivation process to modify self-punishment to self-acceptance through changing behaviour for the success on doing well in the future, it is an effort to deal with and overcome negative affect such a guilt and shame, fear, anxiety or insecure feelings [9].To give the same picture, procrastination is addressed to decrease adverse effects and change the behaviour [9]. The students were able to reduce procrastination in exam preparation by replacing approach to avoidance motivation achieved by the beneficial effects in the academic setting as sublease of academic behaviours [2]
