Productive procrastination replaces one adaptive behavior with another adaptive-albeit less important-behavior (e.g., organizing notes instead of studying for an exam). We identified adaptive and maladaptive procrastination styles associated with academic and alcohol outcomes in 1106 college undergraduates. Cluster analysis identified five academic procrastination styles-, , , and . Procrastination style differentially predicted alcohol-related problems, cravings, risk of alcohol use disorders, and GPA (all < .01). Non-procrastination and academic productive procrastination were most adaptive overall; non-academic productive procrastination, non-academic procrastination, and classic procrastination were least adaptive. Productive procrastination differed from other procrastination strategies, and maladaptive procrastination styles may be a useful risk indicator for preventative and intervention efforts.
积极拖延用另一种适应性行为(尽管不太重要)取代了一种适应性行为(例如,整理笔记而不是为考试学习)。我们在1106名本科大学生中确定了与学业成绩和饮酒结果相关的适应性和适应不良性拖延风格。聚类分析确定了五种学业拖延风格—— 、 、 、 和 。拖延风格对与酒精相关的问题、渴望、酒精使用障碍风险和平均绩点有不同的预测作用(所有p < .01)。总体而言,不拖延和学业积极拖延最具适应性;非学业积极拖延、非学业拖延和经典拖延适应性最差。积极拖延与其他拖延策略不同,适应不良性拖延风格可能是预防和干预措施的一个有用风险指标。
