ABSTRACT This study measures students' unintentional procrastination, as captured by ‘the number of days delayed,’ or ‘delay.’ ‘Delay’ is the difference between the day that a student indicated that he or she would work on a homework assignment, and the day that he or she actually worked on that assignment as recorded by Blackboard. Regression results demonstrate that ‘delay’ is negatively associated with homework score, grade in principles of micro-and-macroeconomics, as well as cumulative GPA. Furthermore, starting homework later than one's plan matters more than starting homework late per se. Finally, students do not update their priors about their own behavior.

意外拖延，自我控制和学业成就

摘要本研究衡量学生的无意拖延，用“延迟天数”或“延迟”来表示。“延迟”是学生指出他或她将从事一项家庭作业的日期与他或她实际从事该作业的日期（由Blackboard记录）之间的差额。回归结果表明，“延迟”与作业得分，微观和宏观经济学原理的等级以及累积GPA负相关。此外，比计划晚点开始作业比起晚点开始作业要重要得多。最后，学生不会更新自己的行为习惯。
