Abstract

Procrastination is one of the most discussed behavior patterns nowadays. It can significantly reduce one’s life quality through decreased self-confidence and increased negative habits including heavy drinking, insomnia etc. According to research, procrastinating is very common among students when dealing with their academic tasks, and it can cause them moderate-to-high level problems when procrastination behaviors accrued. Although some strategies are commonly suggested for students to improve their procrastination behavior, the effectiveness of certain specific intervention for academic procrastination behavior was not analyzed enough. So, the purpose of this article is to analyze and discuss the effectiveness of specific interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness on academic procrastination among students through reviewing existing empirical studies. Five articles were discussed, and the reviewed studies showed that both CBT and mindfulness are effective on improving academic procrastination behavior. Group CBT was found to be more effective compared to ICBT. The results could help create possible future interventions to improve academic procrastination or procrastination related behaviour.
