In the academic context, delay of gratification is defined as the state of intention and readiness to postpone immediate rewards in pursuit of long-term goals. The present study conducted with the aim of checking the psychometric indices of the Persian version of the academic delay of gratification scale of Bembenutty & Karabenick. This 10-item scale performed on a sample of 250 students from high school in Ahvaz selected by multi-stage random sampling. To collect data, the scales in academic delay of gratification, achievement goal orientation and academic self-efficacy used. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the model fits with the data. The results of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.79) and split-half (0.74) indicated the internal consistency of the scale. Also, a positive and significant correlation observed between the academic delay of gratification and the achievement goal orientation and academic self-efficacy. In general, the results of the research showed that the academic delay of gratification scale is a reliable and valid tool for application in educational and psychological research.
