Abstract
This paper briefly reviews some theoretical perspectives on procrastination and presents the
results of research on both self-report and observed procrastination in a General Psychology
course. We taught the course using a modified PSI structure with computer mediated feedback
and testing exercises that provided the opportunity for students to delay tasks, yet still complete
the course with a desirable grade. The results found a moderate relationship between self-report
and observed procrastination, a negative relationship between course grade and procrastination,
and mixed findings for the relationship between procrastination and personality.
