A. Approach and Type Research Based on the place, type of this research is field research, and it uses quantitative approach. According to Creswell reported by Asmadi Asla explained that quantitative research is research that working with numbers, for which data are shaped numbers (scores and grades, rank, or frequency), which is analyzed using statistics to answer research questions or hypotheses that are specific, and to predict that a certain variable affects another variable.^1 According to Sugiyono, quantitative method is quantitative research methodology can be interpreted as a method that is based on the philosophy of positivism, is used examine the population or certain sample, the sampling technique is generally conducted randomly, using instrument research in collecting data , data analysis is form quantitative/statistics in order to test the hypotheses that have been set.^2
B. Identification of Research Variables Before collecting data and evaluation the data specified. Then the first identification of variables specified. In social and psychological research may not only relate to one variable only but also always mutually influenced by some other variables.^3 Definition of variable is constructs that its properties have been given numbers (quantitative) or can also be interpreted variable is a concept that has a variety of values, in the form quantitative or qualitative value can fluctuate.^4

A variable is a phenomenon that varies in form, quality, quantity, quality standards, etc.^5 Therefore, researchers need to identify the research variable. That are independent variable, dependent variable, and control variable. According to Jonathan Sarwono independent variable is a stimulus variable or variable that affect other variables. The independent variable is the variable that it variable is measured, manipulated, or selected by the researcher to determine its relationship with a symptom was observed.^6 While dependent variable is a variable that gives the reaction/response if connected with the independent variable. Dependent variable is the variable that it variable observed and measured to determine the effect caused by the independent variable.^7 Dependent variable is variable that is "influenced" by the independent variables.^8 Whereas other variable is control variables. According to Sugiyono, the control variable is a variable that is controlled or held constant so that the independent variable on the dependent is not influenced by external factors that are not researched.^9 Function of the control variables is to purify the result or effect relationship between the independent variables on the dependent variable from other variables.^10 Based on the theories and hypotheses, the researcher formulate some research variables, are:

C. Operational Definition Variables must defined operationally to seek the relationship between the other variables and measurement easily.^13 With the operationalization of these variables, will facilitate researchers to determine the measurement of the correlation among variables. An operational definition is a definition of the variables defined by the characteristics of the variables that can be observed.^14 According to Young in the quote Koetjaraningrat Reporting by Jonathan Sarwono said that the definition of an operational is a definition that is based on the observable characteristics of what is being defined or “changing concepts that form construct by words that describe the behavior or indication which can be observed and can be tested the truth by others”.^15 The operational definitions of the variables used in this research are:

Collecting data is a process of collecting data both primary and secondary in a research.^24 Collecting data is a systematic procedure and standards for obtaining the data that is got. Method of collecting the necessary data, there is always a correlation between the methods of data collection with the research problem that will be solved.^25 In this research using method scale that is often called the questionnaire. Questionnaire is an information gathering technique that enable to learn attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and characteristics of some main people in the organization who could be affected by the proposed system or by the existing system.^26 According to Sugiyono, questionnaire is a data collection technique is done by giving a set of questions or a written statement to the respondent to be answer.^27 In the questionnaire can be form a question/statement is open or closed. Whereas type of this questionnaire is closed questionnaire, the meaning is all questions that given to respondent is in the form of multiple choice. So, the type of this questionnaire is respondents were not given the opportunity to aks or give opinions.^28 An example of this questionnaire is the application of a Likert scale. Likert scale is a scale that can be used to measure the attitudes of opinion, and a perception of an object or certain phenomenon.^29 Scales that is used in this research is tawakkal scale, self-regulation scale, and procrastination scale. The item of scale is divided into two kinds of item, favorable and unfavorable item. Favorable is questions that is concomitant with statement, while unfavorable item is questions that is not concomitant with statement. Score for every item of scale is among 1-4, is as on table below:

F. Validity and Reliability Test Instruments Implementation of test held on 1-10 October 2013. Instruments tested on 50 respondents of college student in IAIN Walisongo Semarang, who have characteristics tendency procratination on taking thesis. But, the respondents are different with the true respondents.
1. Validity test According to Gay, an instrument said valid if the instrument used to measure what is to be measured.^31 Validity is a measure that indicates the levels of validity or the validity of an instrument. A valid instrument has high validity, otherwise valid instrument that less means having a low validity.^32 The validity of a research instrument is the degree that shows that a test measures what it intends to measured.^33 Whereas in this research uses the construct validity approach that is related to the validity of a measuring instrument's ability to measure understanding of a concept that measured.^34 While to determine the validity in this research uses Pearson correlation techniques that is correlate item scores with total score of the item. If the value of count is positive r ≥ r table, then the item can be said valid. In general, research in the field of science education using a significance level of 0.05 or 0.01. A validity coefficient is considered satisfactory or not depends on the user of scale. Validity of each scale item of tawakkal, self- regulation, and tendency of procrastination are using a significance level of p

Based on validity test that have done, for tawakkal, from 53 items there is 40 items that is valid and 13 items that is not valid. With limitation of significant of correlation coefficient is 0.005. Item is said valid when significant of correlation is < 0.005. Item is said not valid when significant of correlation is
0.005. Valid item of tawakkal is from 0.281 - 0.650. And not valid item of tawakkal is from 0,004 - 0.268. Whereas validity test of self-regulation scale that clarified valid and not valid as below:

Reliability is how far the measurement results by the instruments can be trusted or reliable.^35 Reliability same as consistency or constancy. A research instrument is said have a high reliability values when the tests were made have consistent results in the measure to be measured.^36 Reliability refers to the consistency and stabilization of specific outcomes measurement scale. Reliability concentrated on issues accuracy of measurement results.^37 According to Saifuddin Anwar, numeral of reliability are within the range 0 to 1,00. The higher of reliability coefficient closing on 1,00 means the higher the reliability and a low coefficient otherwise will be getting closer to the numeral 0.^38 Measuring the reliability in this research uses formula of Alfa Cronbach. Alfa Cronbach have done with how to calculate Alpha coefficient. Data is said reliable if r positive alpha and alpha > r table. For reliability test, researcher is helped by SPSS ( Statistical Product and Service Solution ) for Windows Release version 16. Based on reliability coefficient (α) of tawakal scale get 0.897 whereas reliability coefficient of self-regulation scale get 0.876, and reliability coefficient of procrastination scale get 0.896. The result of reliability test of instrument is below:

3. Arranging scale to research with a new serial number After validity and reliability test the next step is to prepare the items valid, then redistributed to take the research data. Redistribution scales that used for this research can be seen in the following table.
