In this paper decision-making styles, locus of control, and average grades in exams are examined as correlates of procrastination in a sample of 185 university students (mainly female students) recruited from mandatory courses for degrees in psychology and pedagogy at the University of Catania (Italy). Method: We used the Decisional Procrastination Scale (Ferrari, Johnson, & McCown, 1995), consisting of five Likert-type items useful for analyzing the procrastination; the Decision-Making Styles (Di Nuovo & Magnano, 2013), chosen for measuring the doubtfulness, delay, proxy, and no problem styles with 15 Likert-type items; the Locus of Control of Behavior Scale (Craig, Franklin, & Andrews, 1984) used to evaluate internal and external loci of control. The data were gathered through an online anonymous questionnaire and were analyzed using the multiple linear regression model to assess how styles of decision-making, locus of control, and average grades in exams affect the decision to procrastinate in university students. The main findings of this study indicate that doubtfulness and delay decision-making styles correlate with high decisional procrastination together with low average grades at university exams. Locus of control is excluded by the proposed model. Conclusions: These findings suggest pursuing a deeper investigation of the various types of procrastination and the measures used for analyzing the academic achievement in university students.

大学生的决策风格、控制点和考试平均成绩与拖延有关吗?

在本文中,从卡塔尼亚大学心理学和教育学学位必修课程中招收的 185 名大学生(主要是女学生)样本中,研究了决策风格、控制点和考试平均成绩与拖延的相关性。 (意大利)。方法:我们使用了决策拖延量表 (Ferrari, Johnson, & McCown, 1995),由五个李克特类型的项目组成,可用于分析拖延;The Decision-Making Styles (Di Nuovo & Magnano, 2013),选择用于衡量怀疑、延迟、代理和没有问题的风格,有 15 个李克特类型的项目;行为控制轨迹量表 (Craig, Fr​​anklin, & Andrews, 1984) 用于评估内部和外部控制轨迹。这些数据是通过在线匿名问卷收集的,并使用多元线性回归模型进行分析,以评估决策风格、控制点和考试平均成绩如何影响大学生的拖延决定。本研究的主要发现表明,怀疑和延迟决策风格与高决策拖延以及大学考试平均成绩低有关。控制点被提议的模型排除在外。结论:这些发现建议对各种类型的拖延以及用于分析大学生学业成绩的措施进行更深入的调查。和平均成绩影响大学生拖延的决定。本研究的主要发现表明,怀疑和延迟决策风格与高决策拖延以及大学考试平均成绩低有关。控制点被提议的模型排除在外。结论:这些发现建议对各种类型的拖延以及用于分析大学生学业成绩的措施进行更深入的调查。和平均成绩影响大学生拖延的决定。本研究的主要发现表明,怀疑和延迟决策风格与高决策拖延以及大学考试平均成绩低有关。控制点被提议的模型排除在外。结论:这些发现建议对各种类型的拖延以及用于分析大学生学业成绩的措施进行更深入的调查。
