✦ Synopsis

Newly constructed scales of decisional procrastination were validated as a precondition for assessing similarities and dierences between decisional and task avoidant procrastination. The two behavioral dispositions and their concomitant aective reactions (tension during decision making and discomfort about postponing tasks, respectively) were found to be independent. Each disposition was general rather than speci®c with a high inter-correlation of indecisiveness on matters of minor as well as major importance and a high inter-correlation of postponing life routines as well as postponing academic assignments. Two of the ®ve Costa±McCrae personality factors accounted for most of the explained variance in the two kinds of procrastination, Neuroticism for decisional procrastination and Conscientiousness for task avoidance procrastination, respectively. These ®ndings were consistent with theoretical formulations by Lazarus (Appraisal± Anxiety±Avoidance Model) and Kuhl (Action Control Theory).
