Procrastination in a distance university setting (2012, background): “Contrary to functional forms of delay (e.g., prioritizing), procrastination is a dysfunctional form of delay (cf. Corkin, Yu, & Lindt, 2011) that most often entails negative consequences (e.g., Simpson & Pychyl, 2009) or at least subjective discomfort (e.g., Ferrari, 1998).”
Student dropout at university: a phase-orientated view on quitting studies and changing majors (2021, background): “…into account, academic procrastination (a voluntary delay of an intended action despite knowing about its negative consequences; Grunschel et al., 2016; Klingsieck et al., 2013; Simpson & Pychyl, 2009; Steel, 2007) was found to be positively linked to dropout intentions (Bäulke et al., 2018).”
Arousal, avoidant and decisional procrastinators: Do they exist? (2010, background): “As repeatedly stressed, procrastination is an irrational delay (e.g., Andreou, 2007; Simpson & Pychyl, 2009; Steel, 2007), where putting off is inherently dysfunctional by our own standards.”
