The present study aimed to determine the relationship between emotional control and procrastination among high school students. The sample consisted of 302 students, which were selected through random cluster method from schools of Rasht. They were assessed by Steel pure procrastination questionnaire and emotional control questionnaire by Roger & Najarian. Data were analyzed by multiple regression (stepwise) method. Results showed that benign control (β=-.323) and rumination (β=.218) were important predictive factors of students’ procrastination behaviors. Also, it was founded that 17% of the variance of procrastination was explained by the linear combination of benign control and rumination. Consequently, it could be suggested that treatment of students’ lack of benign control and rumination result in the reduction of their procrastination.
