Аннотация:Abstract: Personal Predictors Of Procrastination And Personality Psychological Security.
The phenomenon of procrastination is on the rise. In contemporary psychological literature procrastination is considered to be a penchant of an individual to “putting off” finishing important projects, which results in negative outcomes in both professional and personal life. As researchers argue the tendency of “delaying tasks for later” influences all spheres of human activities, and, most disconcertingly, procrastination has become widespread among young people. In Russia, the amount of research work into procrastination has not been as considerable as in the West, but the number of scholars focusing on this phenomenon has been growing. One of these aspects to be elucidated is personal predictors of procrastination and specifics of their relationships with personality psychological security.
The article presents the results of the study into a relationship between procrastination and personal traits relating to cognitive, emotional and behavioral spheres.
