  • Research has not revealed a relation between intention and procrastination (r = -.03), meaning people who procrastinate recurrently do not lack an intention but experience difficulties acting on their intentions (intention-action gap).

    “Furthermore, research on motivational factors has not revealed a relation between intention and procrastination (r = -.03),meaning that people who procrastinate recurrently do not lack an intention to initiate or complete their tasks or assignments but, rather, experience difficulties acting on their intentions (i.e., the intention-action gap) (Steel, Brothen, & Wambach, 2001).”

  • In student populations, procrastination has been associated with increased stress, anxiety, depression, and poor academic performance.

    “Procrastination has been most thoroughly studied in student populations, where it has been associated with increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression and poor academic performance [2; 6], but also with putting off everyday obligations [7].”
  • The findings of the study can be considered valid for self-assessed procrastination, but not necessarily for observable procrastinating behavior.

    “Data were limited to self-report. Therefore the findings of the study can be considered valid for self-assessed procrastination, however, not necessarily to observable procrastinating behavior [6].”

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.
