We examined the influence of internet addiction on academic procrastination among college students, with self-control and learning engagement as mediators and social comparison tendency as a moderator. Using data from 328 questionnaires completed by college students, this study revealed that internet addiction was positively related to academic procrastination, and self-control and learning engagement had mediating effects on this relationship. Further, social comparison tendency played a moderating role, such that the effect of internet addiction on academic procrastination was stronger when college students' social comparison tendency was low (vs. high). Implications of the findings are discussed.
