<p>This study examines the relationships between individual temperaments—namely impulsivity, the behavioural approach system (BAS), and the behavioural inhibition system (BIS)—and their influence on procrastination, considering the mediating roles of mind-wandering types.

摘要

This study examines the relationships between individual temperaments—namely impulsivity, the behavioural approach system (BAS), and the behavioural inhibition system (BIS)—and their influence on procrastination, considering the mediating roles of mind-wandering types. Although impulsivity, BAS, and BIS are known to impact decision-making and behaviours Like procrastination, few studies have explored the mechanisms mediating these effects. To address this gap, self-report surveys were administered to a sample of 299 individuals, and data were used to test a mediation model. The hypothesized model tested the relationships among impulsivity, BAS, BIS, spontaneous and deliberate mind-wandering, and both active and passive procrastination. Findings indicated that impulsivity and BIS positively predicted passive procrastination while negatively predicting active procrastination. Spontaneous mind-wandering was found to be positively associated with passive procrastination and negatively with active procrastination. Further, spontaneous mind-wandering mediated the effect of impulsivity and BIS on both active and passive procrastination. However, we failed to find any significant impact of BAS on spontaneous/deliberate mind-wandering and active/passive procrastination. These results underscore the role of trait mind-wandering in shaping procrastination behaviours and clarify the differential impacts of impulsivity and BIS on procrastination types.
