A brief review of studies on the procrastination phenomenon and its connection with the university student`s individual psychological characteristics is presented. The research found that domestic and foreign scientists in their studies analyzed in detail the theoretical foundations of procrastination: definition and structural organization, approaches to the classification of procrastination, analysis of the causes and consequences of procrastination, connections between perfectionism and narcissism and procrastination. Domestic science considers it necessary to take into account the impact of academic procrastination on learning success. Issues related to the relationship between behavior in conflict and the level of student`s academic procrastination have not been considered by domestic and foreign scientists. The research uses a systematic method for analyzing the consequences and risk factors when choosing a behavior strategy in a conflict by university students, as well as the following diagnostic research methods: theoretical analysis of literary sources on the problem of procrastination, diagnostic methods and the method of mathematical statistics (correlation analysis). The diagnostics was made with the use of the questionnaires “Procrastination Scale” by K. Lay and “Choice of Behavior Strategy in a Conflict Situation” by K. Thomas and R. Kilmann. The results of the empirical research showed that the most common among students is a high level of procrastination, and the choice of behavior strategy in conflict is compromise. A correlation analysis of the relationship between the strategy of behavior in conflict chosen by university students and diagnosed general procrastination in a sample of students showed a direct, pronounced interdependence between procrastination and the strategy of competition and an inverse, pronounced interdependence between procrastination and the strategy of cooperation. It is concluded that it is necessary to reduce the level of academic procrastination through specially organized classes on self-organization and self-discipline in order to develop cooperation among students, to increase the degree of harmony between individuals and society. To do this, it is recommended to change the pedagogical, organizational conditions and content of educational activities. The results of the research will help improve the quality of higher education and serve its effectiveness in the social transformation era.
