Hey everyone, as most people doing this subject are also doing motivation and emotion I thoght i'd use this blog to start up discussion about the 3,000 procastination word essay we're all procrastinating on. Is anyone else struggling? There seems to be so much research out there and studies linking just about everything under the sun to procrastination.
Has anyone found any articles about antecedents? Most of the ones I've found have been correlational studies and as they say correlation does not prove causation.
Here are a few articles I've been looking at, feel free to add to the list!
Van Eerde, W. (2003). Ameta-anylitically derived nomological network of procrastination. Personality and individual differences, 35, 1401-1418.
Steel, P. (2003). The nature of procrastination. University of Calgary. Retrieved 29th of August, 2007, from http://www.ucalgary.ca/~steel/procrastinus/meta/meta.html
Scher, S. J., & Osterman, N. M. (2002). Procrastination, conscientiousness, anxiety, and goals: Exploring the measurement and correlates of procrastination among school-aged children. Psychology in Schools, 39, 385-398.
Any comments, tips etc welcome;)

Hi Mike, i found some information about antecedents in this article...
Schraw, G., Wadkins, T., & Olafson, L. (2007). Doing the things we do: A grounded theory of academic procrastination. Journal of Educational Psychology, 99(1), 12-25.
Hope that helps, and thanks for the tips!
Thanks a alot for that Lauren, I'll check it out now!
Most of the literature I have read offers many theoretical perspectives but little concrete experimental evidence about the specific developmental pathologies of procrastination.
Many emotional antecedents have been proven to have a strong correlation to procrastination but cause-effect relationships are vague when controlled for other variables.
Check out the procrastination section of this article:
Tice & Bratslavsky (2000) Giving in to Feel Good: The Place of Emotion Regulation in the Context of General Self-Control. Psychological Inquiry, 11(3), 149-159.
Surprisingly, much of the research suggests that many emotions contribute to increased promptness of action.
Hope I'm on the right track...
