Introduction Many of contemporary studies of procrastination were conducted with healthy students. We investigate personality features connected with procrastination in different group of young students (clinical - with mental disorders and control - healthy students). It was conduct comparison of the same personality features connected with procrastination by using three psychological tests with the direct and mediated diagnostic procedure. Objectives Male and female students (aged 18-25) Control group– 60. Clinical group - 53 patients of psychiatric clinic, divided to diagnosis: schizophrenia F20.01, bipolar disorder F31, personality disorder F60. Aim Study of personal self-assessment parameters of procrastination at young students with using the direct (questionnaire PASS, Self-esteem by Dembo-Rubinstein) and mediated (color-test of preference by A. M. Etkind) diagnostic procedure. Methods Parameters: self-control, self-organization, impulsiveness, failure avoidance of Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS) by L.J. Solomon, E.D. Rothblum (factor analysis by M. Zvereva); Self-esteem by Dembo-Rubinstein, color-test of preference by A.M. Etkind. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used as mathematical method of data assessment. Results We assess the differences between the same personality features connected with procrastination (self-control, self-organization, impulsiveness, failure avoidance) using Wilcoxon signed-rank test in three psychological tests. It were obtained significant differences in comparing groups almost all parameters (p<0,05). We analyze only the cases without differences in every group. The avoidance of failures was the common parameter for all groups. We didn’t find connection between PASS and Dembo-Rubinstein test similarly in control and two clinical groups (F20 and F60). The third clinical group (F31) didn’t demonstrate connection between color-test of preference and PASS. The absence of connection between PASS and Dembo-Rubinstein in impulsiveness parameter was the distinguishing feature in control group. Conclusions 1. The failure avoidance is a key procrastination parameter in young age. 2. There exists peculiarity of personality features connected with procrastination for patient with bipolar disorder in comparison with all other groups. 3. Healthy students are considered to demonstrate more self-control then patient with mental disorders due to absence of connection between PASS and Dembo-Rubinstein in impulsiveness parameter. |
