understanding the cognitive and genetic underpinnings of Procrastination evidence for shared genetic influences with goal management and executive function abilities
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2015Co-Authors: Daniel E Gustavson, John K Hewitt, Akira Miyake, Naomi P FriedmanAbstract:Abstract Previous research has suggested that individual differences in Procrastination are tied to everyday goal-management abilities, but little research has been conducted on specific cognitive abilities that may underlie tendencies for Procrastination, such as executive functions (EFs). In this study, we used behavioral genetics methodology to investigate 2 hypotheses about the relationships between Procrastination and EF ability: (a) that Procrastination is negatively correlated with general EF ability, and (b) that this relationship is due to the genetic components of Procrastination that are most related to other everyday goal-management abilities. The results confirmed both of these hypotheses. Procrastination was related to worse general EF ability at both the phenotypic and genetic levels, and this relationship was due to the component of Procrastination shared with self-report measures of everyday goal-management failures. These results were observed even after controlling for potential self-report biases stemming from the urge to respond in a socially desirable manner. Together, these findings provide strong evidence for growing theories of Procrastination emphasizing the importance of goal-related cognitive abilities and further highlight important genetic influences that underlie Procrastination.

How decisional and general Procrastination relate to Procrastination at work: An investigation of office and non-office workers
Personality and Individual Differences, 2021Co-Authors: Meirav Hen, Marina Goroshit, Stav ViengartenAbstract:Abstract Procrastination is a common behavior with several negative outcomes. At work, it can be harmful for both organizations and employees. However, its unique nature has only been briefly studied. This study examined the extent to which Procrastination at work can be predicted by a personality tendency to procrastinate (i.e., general and decisional Procrastination), and what effect the work context has on this relationship. The results indicated that both personality-oriented types of Procrastination positively predicted Procrastination at work, with decisional Procrastination as the stronger predictor. Furthermore, the work context moderated the relationship between decisional and general Procrastination and Procrastination at work, indicating that for office employees these relationships are stronger. This study suggests that Procrastination at work is somewhat related to the personality tendency to procrastinate, especially for decisional Procrastination and for office employees. This information may be important both for preventing and intervening in Procrastination in the workplace, and for the scientific literature.

General and Life-Domain Procrastination in Highly Educated Adults in Israel.
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Marina GoroshitAbstract:Procrastination is usually perceived as a general behavioral tendency, and was studied mostly in college students in academic settings. Recently there is a growing body of literature to support the study of Procrastination in older adults and in different life-domains .Based on these advances in the literature, the present study examined Procrastination in 430 highly educated adults in Israel. Findings showed that respondents reported significantly higher Procrastination in maintaining health behaviors and spending leisure time rather in other life-domains. Forty percent of participants reported high Procrastination in health behaviors, while only 9.5% reported this level of Procrastination in parenting and 1% in the general tendency to procrastinate. Further findings suggested that 25% of respondents reported high Procrastination in four or more life-domains, and 40% - in one to three life-domains. The general tendency to procrastinate was moderately associated with Procrastination in finance, education and career life-domains and weekly with other life-domains. Fourteen percent of participants reported that Procrastination influenced their life the most in health behaviors, 12 % in career and education and 11% in romance and family life. These initial findings contribute to the overall perspective of life-domain specificity of Procrastination in adults, and emphasize the importance to further study and develop a life-span perspective.

Life-domain regret regarding Procrastination (LDR-P): Scale validation in the United States and Israel
Current Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Marina Goroshit, Joseph R FerrariAbstract:Life regrets over inactions were found to have a long-term negative effect on people’s lives. Procrastination can be considered as a type of inaction; however, life regret regarding Procrastination has been only briefly studied. The present study examined the factorial structure of the life-domain regret regarding Procrastination scale (LDR-P) in two cultures (the US and Israel). In addition, the associations of regret regarding Procrastination with general and behavioral Procrastination measures and its mean scores were compared between the two cultures. Findings indicated a four-factor structure (career & community, interpersonal relationships, personal development, self-enhancement) based on the presence of Procrastination in different life-domains. Further findings revealed strong associations between regret regarding Procrastination and the two other Procrastination measures mainly for the US sample. Finally, a comparison of factors means between the US and Israeli samples indicated that Americans more than Israelis experience regret over Procrastination in education, career planning, finance and community life-domains. These results suggest both that life-domain regret regarding Procrastination is a multi-dimensional construct that can be measured in different cultures and detect some cross-cultural differences. It should be further studied to better understand if and how it affects peoples’ lives, and how it can be addressed.

The effects of decisional and academic Procrastination on students’ feelings toward academic Procrastination
Current Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Marina GoroshitAbstract:Procrastination is often associated with feelings of discomfort. The current research examined the effects of decisional and academic Procrastination on students’ feeling of discomfort related to academic Procrastination and the desire to change their Procrastination habits. We assumed that academic Procrastination would mediate the relationship between decisional Procrastination and students’ feelings toward academic Procrastination. A total of 373 undergraduate social sciences students from northern Israel participated in the study. The results challenge the traditional perception that Procrastination is mostly associated with feelings of discomfort and may imply that while decisional procrastinators experience discomfort associated with Procrastination, academic procrastinators want to change their Procrastination habits but do not report feelings of discomfort. The findings also suggest a difference between the two types of Procrastination and may contribute to the argument that for some students, Procrastination serves as an immediate emotional relief, followed by negative academic outcomes that enhance the desire to change this habit.

academic Procrastination emotional intelligence academic self efficacy and gpa a comparison between students with and without learning disabilities
Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014Co-Authors: Marina GoroshitAbstract:Academic Procrastination has been seen as an impediment to students’ academic success. Research findings suggest that it is related to lower levels of self-regulated learning and academic self-efficacy and associated with higher levels of anxiety, stress, and illness. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to assess, regulate, and utilize emotions and has been found to be associated with academic self-efficacy and a variety of better outcomes, including academic performance. Students with learning disabilities (LD) are well acquainted with academic difficulty and maladaptive academic behavior. In comparison to students without LD, they exhibit high levels of learned helplessness, including diminished persistence, lower academic expectations, and negative affect. This study examined the relationships among academic Procrastination, EI, and academic performance as mediated by academic self-efficacy in 287 LD and non-LD students. Results indicated that the indirect effect of EI on academic procrastinatio...
