Abstract

The article deals with the cognitive nature of procrastination, including the presentation of the main characteristics and the analysis of related concepts. A large number of psychological ideas create a serious obstacle to the development of both the general concept of procrastination and its cognitive component. Moreover, each approach to determining the cognitive component of procrastination involves the use of a specific methodology for its diagnosis. Psychological research of various approaches to the cognitive aspect of procrastination contributes to a deeper understanding of its nature. The concept of the cognitive component of procrastination has been studied taking into account various methodological approaches in foreign and domestic psychological science. Foreign studies of the cognitive sphere of procrastination are primarily aimed at establishing irrational distortions, low self-esteem, inability to make decisions (manage goals). Russian psychologists interpreting the concept of “cognitive component of procrastination” single out such features as understanding of negative consequences of procrastination, internality, maladaptive beliefs, features of time perspective, reflection, etc. The analysis conducted makes it possible to conclude that studies of the cognitive nature of procrastination are promising, as they have a great explanatory potential of this phenomenon.
