Explaining the changes in procrastination in an ACT-based course – psychological flexibility and time and effort management as mediators
Overview
This study examines how psychological flexibility and time management skills mediate changes in procrastination among students participating in an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based well-being course. Using an experimental design with 136 participants, the authors analyzed data to determine the relationships between these variables over the duration of the training. The findings indicate that improvements in both psychological flexibility and time management skills were associated with reductions in procrastination.
