“…It means there is a difference between experimental and control groups in post-test scores for selfhandicapping. Eta number (ŋ=0.15) also confirmed that this difference is high and considerable 1 . While the IQ score (F=0.72, P>0.05) has no significant effect on the post-test score, the pre-test (F=4.28, P>0.05) shows that it does not have a significant effect on post-test scores.…”

Objectives: Considering the negative effect of self-handicapping on both mental and physical health and the positive effect of self-efficacy on success and efficacy of people, this research has been conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of meta-cognitive skills training on self-handicapping and self-efficacy of students. Methods:This research is an experimental study with pre/post-test, and 28 student participants were allocated to experimental and control groups randomly (14 persons per group). Jones and Rhodewalt Self-Handicapping Scale, Sherer and Maddux Self-Efficacy Scale, and Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Test had been utilized for data collecting. The meta-cognitive training program was provided to the experimental group within two months in six sessions while students of the control group did not receive any training. Results:Covariance analysis proposes that meta-cognitive training has a significant effect on decreasing self-handicapping in experimental group; however, there are no significant differences in the results of self-efficacy post-test in both experimental and control groups. Discussion:Findings of the present study suggest that meta-cognitive skills training-as an effective training program-could be used for decreasing students' self-handicapping. But with regards to the effectiveness of meta-cognitive skills training on self-efficacy, it is revealed that more variables are involved, and it needs further investigation.

“…A study that examined academic procrastination and goal achievement on a weekly basis of web-based protocols (Wäschle, Allgaier, Lachner, Fink and Nückles, 2014) found that high procrastinators were low on goal achievement, and in turn, low achievement reinforced academic procrastination forming a positive feedback loop. Procrastination has been described as a failure of self-control (Pychyl and Flett (2012) and as a meta-cognitive failure (Fernie, Bharucha, Nikčević, and Spada, 2017). Chu and Choi (2005) suggested a distinction between a non -adaptive type of procrastination "passive", and an adaptive type of procrastination "active".…”

Background: While passive procrastination is usually associated with distress and dysfunction active procrastination may be an effective coping style. To test this possibility, we examined passive and active procrastination in terms of temperament, character, and emotional intelligence (EI), as well as by a short-term longitudinal study. Methods: Adult community volunteers (N=126) self-reported twice in an online short-term longitudinal study. At baseline on active and passive procrastination, as well as on the temperament and character inventory of personality (TCI-140) and EI. At first testing, they were asked to freely describe three personal goals and to make action plans to achieve each within the next two weeks. Two weeks later they reported on progress on their personal goals (PPG). Results: PPG correlated positively with active procrastination and negatively with passive procrastination. Dividing the participants into median splits on active and passive procrastination resulted in four groups: Active, Passive, Active-Passive, and Non-Procrastinators. Analysis of variance showed that active procrastinators had an advantage in temperament and character traits as well as EI. Active procrastinators were also higher than the other groups on personality profiles i.e. combinations of traits; dependable temperament and well-developed character. Conclusions: Active procrastination can be an adaptive and productive coping style. It is associated with dependable temperament, well-developed character, and high emotional intelligence and predicts meeting personal goals.

“…procrastination ranging between 15%-20% in the general adult population prove as evidence for the frequency of this phenomenon [17][18][19][20]. Procrastination is a failure of self-regulation [16,[21][22][23], in other words, it has been viewed as a maladaptive attempt to manage behavior or emotion [24,25], that is associated with various mental health problems [26]. Procrastination increases negative feelings such as shame or guilt [27], reduces well-being [20], and affects health behavior, such as deferring to seek proper care for health problems [28].…”

The present research was performed to investigate the role of self-efficacy and negative perfectionism in the prediction of procrastination of narcissistic personality. This is a descriptive research of correlational type for which performance a total of 412 students were selected via random multi-stage sampling method. In order to examine the research hypothesis and accomplish the research objective, the participants were provided with a questionnaire composed of Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16, General Procrastination Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale. Collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results of the research indicated significant associations between self-efficacy, negative perfectionism, and narcissism, in one hand, and procrastination, on the other hand, so that, as variables, self-efficacy, negative perfectionism, and narcissism could explain 10% of the variance in procrastination. Results of the present research indicated the importance of self-efficacy, negative perfectionism, and narcissism in the development and exacerbation of procrastination, and placed an emphasis on the necessity of paying attention to the role of such effective antecedents by mental health-related authorities, so as to reduce procrastination.
