“Although the general relationship between irrational beliefs and procrastination is irregular and weak (Steel, 2007), clinical experience suggests that attending to assumptions, core beliefs, and negative automatic thoughts may be essential in order to prevent the individual from postponing commitments (Flett, Stainton, Hewitt, Sherry, & Lay, 2012).”

Researchers have proposed cognitive construals of procrastination, such as procrastinatory cognitions, which reflect automatic negative thoughts related to procrastination that are important for understanding the cognitive-behavioral aspects of procrastination.
“Similarly, researchers have proposed cognitive construals of procrastination, such as procrastinatory cognitions, which reflect automatic negative thoughts related to procrastination that are important for understanding the cognitive-behavioral aspects of procrastination (Flett, Stainton, Hewitt, Sherry, & Lay, 2012; Stainton, Lay, & Flett, 2000).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
