Links between self-reports of procrastination and actual procrastination results

  • Voluntary and observed delay were correlated at r=.46 with a p value less than or equal to .001
  • Mean procrastination score was M=15.46 with a standard deviation of 11.12
  • Median procrastination score was Mdn=13.5
  • Procrastination behavior was significantly correlated with both voluntary and observed delay: r (voluntary delay)=.41 with a p value less than or equal to .001; r (observed delay)=.47 with a p value less than or equal to .001
  • “Self-reports significantly explained 26.8% of variance in procrastination behavior”
  • Procrastination was predicted by both voluntary delay and observed delay which shows that both of the self report aspects predicted how many days they would postpone the task before doing it
