This study used a sample of 818 postgraduate students across several universities in China, to explore the effect of the supervisor&ndash:student relationship on procrastination in postgraduates, and the mediating roles played by the postgraduates&rsquo: academic self-efficacy and learning adaptation. The study employs multiple scales and finds that: (1) the relationship between postgraduates and their supervisors is significantly and negatively correlated with academic procrastination: (2) the academic self-efficacy of postgraduates plays an independent intermediary role in the connection between the supervisor&ndash:student relationship and academic procrastination: (3) the learning adaptation of postgraduates also plays an independent intermediary role in the connection between the supervisor&ndash:student relationship and academic procrastination: (4) the academic self-efficacy and learning adaptation of postgraduates shows a chain-mediating effect in the connection between the supervisor&ndash:student relationship and academic procrastination. Ultimately, the supervisor&ndash:student relationship is an important factor that can directly affect academic procrastination, even if postgraduate students display academic self-efficacy and learning adaptation.
