BACKGROUND
procrastination refers to the delay or postponement of task or decision-making initiation or completion and is often conceptualised as a failure of self-regulation. Recent research has suggested that metacognitions play a role in procrastination and that unintentional procrastination (UP), as opposed to intentional procrastination (IP), may be the most problematic form of this behaviour. We aimed to test a metacognitive model of procrastination that was grounded in the Self-Regulatory Executive Function model.
METHODS
a convenience sample of 400 participants were recruited and completed (at least partially) a battery of online questionnaires that measured IP and UP, metacognitions about procrastination, depression, and Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS) configurations. Initially, we tested series of hypotheses to establish the relationships between the experimental variables and to test whether CAS configurations would independently predict UP when controlling for age, depression, IP, metacognitions about procrastination, and whether an individual reported that they had been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.
RESULTS
CAS configurations, depression, and metacognitions independently predicted UP. Additionally, path analysis revealed that the study data was an excellent fit to the proposed metacognitive model of procrastination.
LIMITATIONS
the study is cross-sectional.
CONCLUSIONS
the metacognitive model of procrastination presented in this paper can be used to generate novel interventions to treat this problematic behaviour.
背景
拖延是指任务或决策启动或完成的延迟或推迟，通常被概念化为自我调节的失败。最近的研究表明，元认知在拖延中起作用，并且与有意拖延（IP）相对的无意拖延（UP）可能是这种行为最成问题的形式。我们旨在测试一种基于自我调节执行功能模型的拖延元认知模型。
方法
招募了400名参与者的便利样本，并（至少部分地）完成了一系列在线问卷，这些问卷测量了IP和UP、关于拖延的元认知、抑郁以及认知注意综合征（CAS）配置。最初，我们测试了一系列假设，以建立实验变量之间的关系，并测试在控制年龄、抑郁、IP、关于拖延的元认知以及个体是否报告被诊断患有精神疾病的情况下，CAS配置是否能独立预测UP。
结果
CAS配置、抑郁和元认知独立预测了UP。此外，路径分析表明，研究数据与所提出的拖延元认知模型非常契合。
局限性
该研究是横断面研究。
结论
本文提出的拖延元认知模型可用于产生新的干预措施来治疗这种有问题的行为。
