Links between self-reports of procrastination and actual procrastination study introduction

Procrastination-”intentionally putting something off or voluntarily delaying an intended course of actions although one expects negative consequences due to this delay”
Research has shown that approximately 50% of students report being frequent procrastinators
The Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) was created to compile a concise 12 question self-reported survey of procrastination that draws together previous surveys’ work
The PPS distinguishes between voluntary delay and observed delay
Much of the literature on procrastination only uses self-report measures and doesn’t actually measure behavioral outcomes
