Abstract:
Introduction: Identifying the factors associated with and influencing academic procrastination is of special necessity and importance. It seems that obsessive-compulsive disorder and cognitive avoidance are effective factors in academic procrastination. Aim: The present research aims to examine the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and academic procrastination with the mediating role of cognitive avoidance. Method: The present research has been conducted quantitatively and through the descriptive-correlational method. The research statistical population included all students at Urmia University during the second academic semester of 2022-2023 that from among these individuals, 251 students were selected through the multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection was conducted through using the Revised Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Foa et al., 2002), the Cognitive Avoidance Scale (Sexton & Dugas, 2008), and the Academic Procrastination Scale (Solomon & Rothblum, 1984) and was analyzed through the SPSS and AMOS softwares. Results: The results indicated that the direct effect of obsessive-compulsive disorder on academic procrastination is significant (p < 0.01). Additionally, the results showed that obsessive-compulsive disorder has a significant relationship with cognitive avoidance as a mediator (p < 0.05). Finally, the results indicated that the research model was a good fit. Conclusion: This research showed that cognitive avoidance mediates the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and academic procrastination. Therefore, it is recommended that counselors and psychologists at student counseling centers pay attention to the manifestations of obsessive-compulsive disorder and the cognitive avoidance resulting from it to reduce academic procrastination.

Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate significant measures between indicators / factors associated to compulsive Internet use and academic procrastination behaviors, for a sample of students, from Romanian education institutions. Previous transcultural findings indicate that compulsive Internet use and procrastination behaviours, but in most cases investigated separately, can interfere, distract, delay and / or have a negative impact on academic work / achievement (completing reading assignments, homework, studying for exams / academic failure), task performance and quality of life (personal and social obligations). Romanian participants were asked on a voluntary basis and with informed consent to complete demographic data and questionnaires about internet use (the Romanian translated and adapted version of The Compulsive Internet Use Scale, CIUS, developed by Meerkerk, G.-J., Van Den Eijnden, R. J. J. M., Vermulst, A. A., & Garretsen, H. F. L., 2009 [4] [5]) and procrastination behaviors (the Romanian translated and adapted version of The Procrastination Assessment Scale - for Students, PASS, designed by Solomon and Rothblum, 1984 [8] [9]). They also were informed that their responses are confidential: 211 valid surveys from 111 college undergraduates and 100 high-school students were collected for analysis. Results identified significant comparative data and correlative indicators of compulsive Internet use in predicting specific procrastination behaviors, for the 211 participants. Implications and future methodological research and coping strategies of this topic were discussed.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTA 56-year-old male presented with compulsive hoarding along with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and schizotypal personality disorder. Hoarding has been described as difficult to treat both pharmacologically and behaviorally, and this patient's comorbid conditions also contributed to his overall impairment. The patient's treatment regimen of fluvoxamine, amphetamine salts, and risperidone, along with behavioral therapy, has helped with hoarding behaviors, motivation, procrastination, and increased socialization. Hoarding may be a unique subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder with poorer prognosis and distinct neuroanatomic dysfunction. Augmentation with stimulants may provide benefits in aspects of hoarding such as procrastination, especially in patients with comorbid attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Abstract:
BackgroundProcrastination is the unnecessary delay of a task that subsequently creates anxiety (Rothblum, Solomon, & Maurakami, 1986). Research suggests that procrastination is linked with poorer mental health, but questions remain regarding its association with anxiety disorders. Studies exploring obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and procrastination have found high levels of procrastination in OCD (Ferrari & McCown, 1994), but have also found no association between obsessive thoughts and procrastination (Kağan, Çakır, İlhan, & Kandemir, 2010). Scher and Osterman (2002) found that procrastination correlated with physiological anxiety and social anxiety, but not worry. No previous research has examined the connection between procrastination and health anxiety.Participants and procedureA non-clinical university sample (N = 300) completed online self-report questionnaires in order to examine the relationships between procrastination and symptoms of OCD, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, health anxiety, and panic disorder.ResultsSymptoms of panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and health anxiety correlated with levels of procrastination. However, using a multiple regression analysis, only panic disorder symptoms uniquely predicted procrastination.ConclusionsIt is proposed that people with panic disorder may procrastinate to avoid anxiety inducing situations, or that individuals who frequently procrastinate may become sensitive to the anxiety caused by procrastination, thereby potentially triggering panic disorder. The full implications of these findings are further discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractCompulsive hoarding is a common and often disabling neuropsychiatric disorder. This article reviews the phenomenology, etiology, neurobiology, and treatment of compulsive hoarding. Compulsive hoarding is part of a discrete clinical syndrome that includes difficulty discarding, urges to save, clutter, excessive acquisition, indecisiveness, perfectionism, procrastination, disorganization, and avoidance. Epidemiological and taxometric studies indicate that compulsive hoarding is a separate but related obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder that is frequently comorbid with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Compulsive hoarding is a genetically discrete, strongly heritable phenotype. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies indicate that compulsive hoarding is neurobiologically distinct from OCD and implicate dysfunction of the anterior cingulate cortex and other ventral and medial prefrontal cortical areas that mediate decision-making, attention, and emotional regulation. Effective treatments for compulsive hoarding include pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. More research will be required to determine the etiology and pathophysiology of compulsive hoarding, and to develop better treatments for this disorder.

Abstract:
In the short-term therapy over 16 50-min. sessions of a compulsive personality, there were unanimous positive changes on 17 verbal measures, with no activity shown on one measure. The verbal measures of Mahl, Raimy, and Bugental were used, along with Bühler, Bühler, and Lefever's Basic Rorschach Score and a qualitative analysis of the Rorschach. There were indications of decreases in procrastination, narcissism, and disorderliness.

Abstract:
The relevance of studying the phenomenon of procrastination and its causes is constantly increasing In connection with the development and acceleration of scientific and technical progress. Modern society is oriented towards achievements. A person is constantly in the conditions of fulfilling obligations, which require compliance with deadlines. Issues of personal effectiveness, achievement of success and well-being are especially important. But staying in these conditions is increasingly reduced to procrastination, a phenomenon that becomes an obstacle to personal and professional effectiveness. The above forms the high interest of the scientific community to the study of the phenomenon of procrastination. The article highlights the phenomenon of procrastination – a great psychological phenomenon that focuses not only on violations of the emotional and volitional sphere of the individual or psychological defenses. The article is also filled with a meaningful analysis of types of procrastination (domestic, that is, daily; neurotic; academic; compulsive) and consideration of their specific features. The determinants of procrastination and its serious consequences, which are traced as a certain psychological state, are considered: stress, a strong decrease in motivation, an obsessive sense of guilt, loss of productivity, and a decrease in self-esteem. It was revealed that the problem lies in the negative consequences of procrastination on a person's professional activity, on a decrease in personal productivity, work capacity, which is manifested in an acute emotional experience of personal failure and dissatisfaction with one's own work, as well as one's own results in the professional environment. Being as a stable model of behavior, procrastination is quite difficult to correct, the work will be effective only if the cause of the problem is determined and a person realizes what internal resources and potential he has.

Abstract:
In order to form a successful healthy personality, modern society requires from it more and more advanced, developed psychological qualities: to be focused, persistent, confident, organized, competitive and so on. In contrast, there is always a phenomenon such as procrastination, which can be directly negatively related to the emotional-volitional and motivational spheres, and thus be a barrier to the formation of a successful personality. This article discusses the causes and prerequisites of the phenomenon of procrastination, such as a propensity for impulsivity, orientation to search for emotions and feelings, difficulty in bridging the gap between intention and action, poor concentration. Different types of procrastination are also considered: household, decision-making, compulsive, neurotic, and academic. Features of subjective perception of time are revealed, such as age, conditioned reflexes, occupation of a person and evaluation of the past. The concept of the culture of a deadline is considered, as a phenomenon when all actions, desires and responsibilities of a person have their own end time after which, everything becomes no longer relevant. Here we will show that people tend to procrastinate when their subjective perception of time is higher. This is well manifested in the phenomenon of "delayed life syndrome". People live as if they have another life ahead of them, which is just preparation. This state is inherent in more or less everyone when some plans or dreams are postponed for later. The theoretical analysis of the concept of "delayed life syndrome" is carried out, describing the phenomenon when a person cannot live today, to enjoy what he has because he continually postpones subjectively crucial decisions for the future. Life itself is considered only as a preparation for the life of the future, the "present". The leading causes of "delayed life syndrome" are found, such as the mismatch of life expectancies that a person has formed in childhood, with real events, and the excessive desire to obtain results while ignoring the process of obtaining these same results.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the pathophysiology of neural conditions related to the neural network of decision-making. If humans are not fully rational, they manage to pretend to be most of the time. Some individuals are distinguished by traits that influence their decision-making, such as impulsiveness, procrastination, and stubbornness. These behaviours are so common that they are not considered pathological. There are, however, cases in which the decision-making system is dysfunctional enough for this irrationality to go beyond socially acceptable norms. This is the field of neurological and psychiatric syndromes of decision-making. The chapter then examines in detail obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs), Tourette’s syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and hyperdopaminergic syndromes. It also describes the deep brain stimulation paradox.
