This study aimed to investigate the effects of childhood traumas and parent-adolescent conflict on academic procrastination among female high school students in Karaj. It also sought to examine the potential mediating role of parent-adolescent conflict in the relationship between childhood traumas and academic procrastination.</p> <p><strong>Methods and Materials: </strong>The study utilized a cross-sectional design with a sample of 384 female high school students selected via cluster random sampling from Karaj. Data collection was conducted using validated self-report questionnaires: the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Conflict Behavior Questionnaire for assessing parent-adolescent conflict, and a standard Academic Procrastination scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlation and regression analyses, were performed using structural equation modeling.</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>The results indicated significant direct effects of childhood traumas and parent-adolescent conflict on academic procrastination. Specifically, higher levels of childhood traumas were associated with increased academic procrastination (β = .201, p &lt; .001). Similarly, parent-adolescent conflict was positively correlated with procrastination (r = .25, p &lt; .01). However, the indirect effect of childhood traumas on academic procrastination through parent-adolescent conflict was not significant (β = -.006, p = .747).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study underscores the impact of childhood traumas and parent-adolescent conflicts on academic procrastination. The findings highlight the importance of addressing these factors within educational and psychological interventions to support the academic success and well-being of students. Future research should explore longitudinal relationships and consider additional mediating variables.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/jayps/article/download/2487/4641
