Title

Individual Differences In Academic Procrastination Tendency And Writing Success

Keywords

Academic procrastination; Academic support; Procrastination; Writing

Abstract

This study examined the relation between academic procrastination tendency and student writing success. We found that the tendency to procrastinate on writing tasks was associated with general anxiety, anxiety about writing the paper, writing the paper later than usual, less satisfaction with writing the paper, and lower grades. Additionally, receipt of feedback on writing was associated with better writing outcomes for high procrastinators. These results have implications for understanding academic procrastination and the use of academic interventions to address procrastination. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
