Subclinical Psychiatric Symptomatology and a Proposed Diagnostic Criterion Separating Psychopathological Procrastinators From Trait Procrastinators

Personality and Mental Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 19(2)

Published: April 24, 2025

ABSTRACT Procrastination trait describes irrational delays of scheduled tasks despite clear awareness the adverse consequences doing so. Although procrastination is well‐known to be linked psychiatric or pathological processes, criterion for “psychopathological procrastination” distinguishing from understudied. This a 5‐year longitudinal observational study. Participants ( N = 464) completed measures in 2018, with follow‐up conducted 2023 267) collecting subclinical symptomatology. A constrained multivariate direct gradient model (cmDGM) was employed prospectively predict symptomatology formulated by DSM‐5 framework. The two‐stage psychopathological connectome then constructed constitute “diagnostic criterion” reflecting procrastination.” predicted symptoms and unhealthy lifestyles. Subclinical bridge hubs “failure self‐regulate delays,” control consequences,” “useless self‐change,” “out‐of‐control irruptions,” “poor sleep quality,” “negative emotional reactions” were identified network. These constituted 9‐item diagnostic (3PDC) good performance (AUC 0.82, p < 0.01). present study revealed predictive role further established 3PDC lay foundation “diagnostics procrastinators.”

The triple psychological and neural bases underlying procrastination: Evidence based on a two-year longitudinal study

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 283, P. 120443 - 120443

The triple brain anatomical network model of procrastination theorized as the result psychological and neural dysfunction implicated in self-control, emotion regulation episodic prospection. However, no studies have provided empirical evidence for such model. To address this issue, we designed a two-wave longitudinal study where participants underwent resting-state scanning completed questionnaires at two time-points that spanned 2-year apart (T1, n = 457; T2, 457). Using cross-lagged panel modeling (CLPN), found components T1, including (i.e., reappraisal) prospection, negatively predicted T2 temporal network. Moreover, CLPN functional connectivity between networks accounting prospection (EP) (ER) positively future centrality analyzes further showed was greatly affected by other nodes, whilst component prospection), (FNC) EP- ER exerted strongest impacts on nodes networks, which indicated treatments targeting might largely help reduce procrastination. Collectively, these findings firstly provide testifying procrastination, highlights contribution to enhances our understanding causes

A pilot study of how the past, present, and future are represented in three-dimensional space

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: March 22, 2023

Numerous studies have shown that the representation of temporal concepts is associated with spatial features such as position and size. In a conventional task called “Circle Test (CT),” participants are asked to express relative importance past, present, future demonstrate relationships among them by drawing three circles representing future. Studies on various participants, including refugees, patients living serious illnesses, adolescents, used it understand perspectives different test takers. On other hand, several suggested time represented in three-dimensional (3D) space. It expected could be recorded using 3D task. Here we created version CT (the “Sphere [ST]”) investigate sagittal record relatedness, allowing for shielding laws perspective. We conducted experiments university students compare results from ST. Our not all on-screen overlapping can interpreted connection between two zones also found correlations chosen sizes ST, i.e., past present were positively correlated. contrast, observed no correlation tests. The alignment pattern along axis showed patterns horizontal vertical axes. conclusion, this study sheds new light third dimension may help us relationship factors, mental health.

The cognitive mechanism and neural substrates enabling self-control to reduce the decision to procrastinate

Advances in Psychological Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 31(9), P. 1560 - 1560

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

摘要: 拖延行为常常阻碍个人、企业和政府按时完成既定任务, 妨害了人们的工作、学业以及疾病防治等方方面面。自我控制是自主减少拖延行为的主要能力, 但却是一种相对有限的认知资源。探明自我控制的作用机制有助于更高效地减少拖延行为。然而, 由于缺乏合适的认知机制理论和脑成像实验范式, 国内外研究多从现象层面探索自我控制、拖延行为和神经指标之间的关系。研究团队提出的"时间决策模型"通过揭示人们如何做出拖延决策, 为认知机制的研究和脑成像实验范式的设计提供了理论支持。基于时间决策模型中"现在做还是以后做"的决策机制, 本项目拟: (1)结合横向和纵向研究, 考察自我控制作用的认知机制及其稳定性; (2)开发拖延的脑成像实验范式, 结合多模态MRI技术, 揭示自我控制减少拖延决策的神经基础; (3)利用神经刺激技术, 考察"基于自我控制脑区的神经干预"的效果及作用机制。研究成果有望为拖延行为提供更加综合的理论框架和新的干预方案。

Adolescent school refusal and academic self‐efficacy: A latent profile and regression analysis

Psychology in the Schools, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 61(10), P. 4041 - 4056

Published: July 5, 2024

Abstract School refusal is a serious problem that negatively affects academic performance, connection to school, and socioemotional well‐being of students. Numerous scientific works have suggested school associated with internalizing problems. However, it necessary determine how this condition may affect certain variables, such as perceived self‐efficacy. This study has three objectives: identify profiles according the Kearney Silverman functional model (1990); analyze differences in means based on identified self‐efficacy; predictive capacity Participants consisted 2357 Spanish students (56.8% girls), aged 13–17 ( M = 15.24, SD 1.26). They were administered Refusal Assessment Scale‐Revised (SRAS‐R) Academic Situation‐Specific Perceived Self‐Efficacy Scale (ASSPSE). Three using Latent Profile Analysis, differential functioning these was determined self‐efficacy dimension. Mixed obtained lowest mean scores The findings are discussed regard importance enhancing prevent attendance problems adolescents young children.
