作者评估了评价忧虑和特质拖延对行为的影响。作者对来自南加州的私立大学学生(N = 72)进行了两个自变量的调查:评估威胁(被操纵)和特质拖延(未被操纵)。作者发现评估威胁类型和特质拖延程度之间对完成指定论文的天数存在显着的交互作用。事后分析显示,与低评估威胁组的人相比,高评估威胁组的高特质拖延者显着延迟了论文的返回。此外,在低评估威胁组中,低特质拖延者比高特质拖延者延迟更多。这些结果表明,教育工作者可以通过增加评估威胁来减少行为延迟,具体取决于学生的拖延特质水平。
The author evaluated the effects of evaluation apprehension and trait procrastination on behaviors. The author examined private university students from southern California (N = 72) on two independent variables: evaluation threat (manipulated) and trait procrastination (nonmanipulated). The author found a significant interaction effect between type of evaluation threat and level of trait procrastination on the number of days to complete an assigned essay. Post hoc analyses showed high trait procrastinators in the high evaluation threat group significantly delayed returning essays compared with those in the low evaluation threat group. Also, in the low evaluation threat group, low trait procrastinators delayed more than did high trait procrastinators. These results suggest that educators can reduce behavioral delays by increasing evaluation threat, depending on a student's level of trait procrastination.
