      Svartdal, Frode; Dahl, Tove I.; Gamst-Klaussen, Thor; Koppenborg, Markus; Klingsieck, Katrin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-02)
      Procrastination is common among students, with prevalence estimates double or even triple those of the working population. This inflated prevalence indicates that the academic environment may appear as “procrastination friendly” to students. In the present paper, we identify social, cultural, organizational, and contextual factors that may foster or facilitate procrastination (such as large degree ...

    • Measuring implemental delay in procrastination: Separating onset and sustained goal striving 

      Svartdal, Frode; Klingsieck, Katrin; Steel, Piers; Gamst-Klaussen, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-13)
      Scales measuring procrastination focus on different aspects of unnecessary and unwanted delay, delay in task implementation – an increased gap between intention and action – being a core characteristic. However, an inspection of existing procrastination scales reveals that the scales do not distinguish between two facets of implemental delay, <i>onset delay</i>, and delay related to <i>sustained ...

    • Procrastination and personal finances: Exploring the roles of planning and financial self-efficacy 

      Gamst-Klaussen, Thor; Steel, Piers; Svartdal, Frode (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)

Study 1 (N = 675) focused on planning, as both procrastination and poor financial habits are ...

      Inefficient study skills increase the probability that study work is perceived as difficult and aversive, with procrastination as a likely result. As a remedy, more effective study skills and habits may be encouraged. However, research indicates that good study skills and habits may not by themselves be sufficient to remedy problems, as this relationship may be mediated by efficacy beliefs related ...
