Concept
Procrastination and Symptoms of ADHD: Study Aims, Hypotheses, and Participants
The current study aims at exploring the relationship between procrastination and ADHD-related symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in an undergraduate college population.
The study proposes 2 hypotheses:
- Researchers predict a positive correlation in the number/severity of ADHD-related behaviors and procrastination, specifically symptoms of impulsivity and impulsivity/hyperactivity symptom domain of ADHD.
- Researchers predict that participants with high levels of impulsivity are more likely to procrastinate.
54 participants (4=male, 50=female),with an mean age of 19.72 were recruited from the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands (primarily psychology and pedagogy students).
- Participants all scored either high, medium, or low on a self-report questionnaire of ADHD-related behaviors, including impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention.
- Participants who scored within the highest 33% of symptoms experienced were invited, and only a small random subset of participants who scored within the middle 33% and lowest 33% were invited.
