Abstract

Procrastination is a common self-regulation failure that has been studied mainly in the educational context, but has been largely neglected in life-span psychology. Adopting a life-span motivational perspective, we focus on adult development and maintain that, historically seen, adults nowadays have to take on a more active role in pursuing their goals due to the deregulation of the life course and increased life expectancy. This requires higher self-regulatory skills, particularly with increasing age. When self-regulation fails, people may postpone developmental goals and experience negative consequences. We propose research questions that might foster the understanding of procrastination from a life-span perspective.
从动机寿命角度看拖延症:成年后延迟目标追求的发展
拖延症是一种常见的自我调节失败,主要在教育背景下进行研究,但在终身心理学中却被忽视了。从终身动机的角度来看,我们关注成年人的发展,并坚持认为,从历史上看,由于对生命历程的放松管制和预期寿命的延长,如今的成年人必须在追求目标方面发挥更积极的作用。这需要更高的自我调节能力,尤其是随着年龄的增长。当自我调节失败时,人们可能会推迟发展目标,并经历负面后果。我们提出了一些研究问题,这些问题可能会从一生的角度促进对拖延症的理解。
