Abstract
The relation of neuroticism, extraversion and psychoticism with study-related attitudes, affects and behaviors is investigated in a group of chronic university student procrastinators immediately prior to a period of academic examinations. Neuroticism was associated with anxiety regarding exams and lack of confidence in preparation. Extraversion and psychoticism were associated with confidence in preparation. Extraversion also was associated with interference in examination studying due to preplanned social activities, while both extraversion and psychoticism were associated with impulsive and unplanned study distractions. Psychoticism was also associated with a dislike of academic coursework. Treatment implications are discussed.
