拖延行为的影响因素和干预措施
The Influence Factors and Treatment Interventions for Procrastination
摘要: 拖延指的是尽管预见到延迟行为会带来不利后果，人们仍然自愿推迟开始或完成某一计划中的任务。拖延在生活中普遍存在，而且会影响到人们的学习、工作、幸福感、身心健康等各个方面。在前人研究的基础上，本文阐述了人格特质(比如尽责性和神经质)、负性情绪和任务厌恶等因素对拖延行为的影响。此外，大量的研究发现，对任务进行合理的规划以及情绪调节训练有助于减少个体拖延行为。为了进一步研究拖延行为的心理机制，未来的研究采用神经影像学技术并设计具体的实验任务。
Abstract: Procrastination, which refers to the behavior of voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off for the delay, is a prevalent problematic behavior that diminishes procrastinators’ fitness, work efficiency, academic performance and psychological well-being. The current paper seeks to provide a theoretical and clinical understanding of procrastination by reviewing prior research. Based on previous studies, here, the present review interprets effects of personality traits (like conscientiousness and neuroticism), aversiveness of tasks and negative emotions on procrastination. Furthermore, we suggest that making proper plan and emotion regulation strategies could attenuate procrastination. For investigating psychological mechanism of procrastination further, specific experiment design and neuroimaging techniques, such as fMRI and fNIRs, should be engaged in future research.
