| Popis: | This is the final version of the following article: Svartdal, F., Granmo, S. & Færevaag, F.S. (2018). On the behavioral side of procrastination: Exploring behavioral delay in real-life settings. Frontiers in Psychology, 9. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00746, which can be retrieved from https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00746. Licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. This paper examines how procrastinators behave differently from non-procrastinators in implementing intended behavior. By focusing on time-related attributes of behavior, we demonstrate in five studies (aggregated N = 965) that onset delay seems to be a preferred option for procrastinators in common daily situations. Thus, when an action possibility is available for intended behavior, procrastinators tend to delay behavior onset, both in actual behavior and in onset preferences, often instigating chains of events with negative consequences. We discuss possible mechanisms responsible for such delays and explore how such mechanisms generate and sustain dilatory behavior. We conclude that a better understanding of why behavioral delays occur in early phases of action implementation is of importance in understanding and preventing procrastination. |
