Sharon Suganthi Caroline. S

Abstract :

Procrastination a widespread phenomenon that affects everyone‘s day–to–day life has been associated with negative consequences for performance, physical health, mood, self– esteem and subjective well–being. The current study aims to understand specific factors that predict and help maintain the procrastination cycle. Purposive sampling was used and the sample consisted of 181 respondents within the age range 18–25 years. Standardized questionnaires such as General Procrastination scale, Self– Deception Questionnaire, Self Forgiveness and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule were administered. Pearson’s correlation, linear regression and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed a positive correlation between procrastination and self–forgiveness as well as between procrastination and self–deception. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both self–forgiveness and self–deception accounted for 78% variance in procrastination, with self–deception strongly predicting procrastination. Preferences for these self–enhancement strategies such as self–forgiveness and self–deception may lessen the potential for recognition of ways to correct future behaviour.
