(2015) Time perspective theory; review, research and application, Dordrecht, Springer.
One negative consequence related to poor future planned behaviour is chronic procrastination, the purposive and frequent delay in beginning or completing a task to the point of experiencing subjective discomfort. Although shown to be associated to affective, behavioral, and cognitive characteristics reflecting more than inefficient time management, the concept of procrastination remains closely related to meeting deadlines within a specific timeframe. Procrastination can be considered as a consequence of temporal self-regulation failure that reflects a disjunction between past, present and future time perspectives. Despite the obvious importance of time to procrastination, little research has examined this important relationship although the temporal component seems to be a key defining concept of procrastination. But, what do we know about this complex tendency? What is the relationship between procrastination and time perspective? In this chapter the principal characteristics notes of procrastination (concept and definition, measure and some correlates) and the results of recent research related to procrastination and time perspective were presented.
