Abstract:
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of
procrastinating can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting
behavior in procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the
second one, Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring,
procrastination can be treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on
academic procrastination. After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will
move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your

treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be

is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.

I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.

Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.

Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,

experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers

students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that

In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,

Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.

“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
Section II Research on Reinforcement Treatment
The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as

The textbook explains, “Reinforcement is the process in which behavior is strengthened
by immediate consequence that reliably follows its occurrence.” (Miltenberger, 2016.) By using
reinforcement, I'm reducing this behavior by providing negative reinforcement by removing this
behavior. Self-control is gained, and people quit procrastinating on assignments. Procrastinating
shows laziness. Perrin, Miller, Haberlin, Ivy, Meindi, & Neef completed a study on college
students' conquering and preventing procrastination. They interviewed students who
procrastinated while studying for a quiz and when online study material was available. This
study showed that college students procrastinate.
Conclusion
Procrastination is a behavior developed in adolescents and can affect adults if they do
not gain control of it. Several studies have shown that procrastination is laziness. Some
individuals sometimes lack responsibility and tasks due to personal issues. God may be from
inactivity, but He wants us to confide in Him, especially during difficult times. Proverbs 3:5-6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your understanding. In all your
This research paper focuses on procrastination and how to stop it. The habit of procrastinating
can lead to issues for the individual. First, in this research, I’ll explain targeting behavior in
procrastination. This section provides two studies, Rozental and Carlbring and the second one,
Grunschel, Patrzek, and Fries. According to Rozental and Carlbring, procrastination can be
treated through cognitive therapy. In a second study, they focus on academic procrastination.
After explaining reinforcement and procrastination prevention, I will move on to the next section.
Introduction:
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. As a journal article explains, "Procrastination
is voluntarily delaying an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off as a
result." (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013). The habit of procrastination causes everyone to put off
tasks in their lives. People can also procrastinate in work and relationships. Did you know that
procrastination is common among adolescents and young adults? (Rozental & Carlbring, 2013.)
I tend to procrastinate with school and chores at home because I juggle being a wife, mother,
nurse, and human. Procrastination has its consequences, and as humans, we should conquer
procrastination.
For this assignment, the target behavior I chose is procrastination. The Grunchel,
Patrez, and Fries study proves that “academic procrastination results in harmful consequences,
such as stress.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Research shows that approximately 70%
procrastinated in school regarding studying, writing papers, and reading. (Grunchel, Patrez, and
Fries, 2013). Researchers asked two questions, “Why do students procrastinate? And Which
consequences do students experience?” Researchers began to focus on the internal
perspective but neglected external antecedents. Researchers then began to question students'
experience and their involvement in procrastination. This study pointed out the researchers
didn’t discover how procrastination was based on the sample. Klassen's analysis shows how
students who experience a negative influence of procrastination tend to have lower academic
scores. Students with depression and anxiety seek help from academic counselors more than
students who procrastinate. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013). Researchers proved that
depression, anxiety, and stress are all factors of procrastination. (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries,
2013). Students fear failing, and that is why students procrastinate.
In this study, Rozental and Carlbring test the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on
procrastination and how it's tied to the internet—three groups of participants with a sample size
of 150. There were two groups of 50 people receiving cognitive therapy without a therapist.
Their findings were that people were suffering from personal issues due to procrastination.
(Rozental and Carlbring, 2013). Results with a therapist had a positive effect on treatment.
Another finding was that there is an effective way to administer treatment. The conclusion is
“that the treatment of procrastination needs to be supplied with significant knowledge as well as
providing support for the use of internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for difficulties due to
delayed tasks and commitment.” (Grunchel, Patrez, and Fries, 2013)
