The role of depression and negative urgency in the relationship between Behavioral Inhibition System and procrastination: A serial mediation analysis
It has been proposed that self-regulatory failures are causes of procrastination. The aim of the present study was to integrate the role of self-regulatory failures in generating negative affectivity and the subsequent tendency to procrastinate. A secondary analysis of responses from 188 adults obt...

The aim of the present study was to integrate the role of self-regulatory failures in generating negative affectivity and the subsequent tendency to procrastinate. A secondary analysis of responses from 188 adults obtained from an open access dataset was done to model an effect of serial mediation. The relationship between the activation of the Behavioral Inhibition System and procrastination was serially mediated by depression and negative urgency. The results are discussed considering the sequence of events that start with self-regulation failures that produce increases in negative affectivity. These increases are not properly regulated and induce procrastinatory behaviors. Additionally, some theoretical aspects to implement intervention strategies to reduce procrastination are proposed. Se ha propuesto que la procrastinación es el resultado de fallas autorregulatorias. El objetivo del presente estudio fue integrar el papel de las fallas autorregulatorias en la generación de la afectividad negativa y la tendencia subsecuente a la procrastinación. Se realizó un análisis secundario de las respuestas de 188 adultos obtenidas de un conjunto de datos de uso académico para modelar un efecto de mediación serial. Se encontró que la relación entre la activación del Sistema de Inhibición Conductual y la procrastinación estuvo mediada serialmente por la depresión y la urgencia negativa. Los resultados se discuten considerando las consecuencias de las fallas inhibitorias que actúan tanto a nivel inicial, que llevan al incremento en afectividad negativa, como en etapas posteriores, que llevan la inducción de conductas procrastinadoras. Adicionalmente, se sugieren algunos aspectos teóricos para implementar estrategias de intervención para reducir la procrastinación.
