Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Coherence Therapy in treating procrastination. For that, this intervention is compared to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy which was already proved to be efficacious in treating this problem. The method used is a randomized controlled trial.
Detailed description
Procrastination is a recognized difficulty that entails negative outcomes regarding performance and subjective well-being. In order to find effective treatments for procrastination, the present study wants to test the efficacy of Coherence Therapy, compared with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Procrastination, negative emotional states and cognitive structure will be assessed in pre-treatment and post-treatment evaluation. A total of 30 students will be randomly assigned to Coherence Therapy (n=15) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (n=15). In both forms of treatment students will receive three weekly sessions and one more session six to seven weeks after the third session. The treatment will be provided by trained psychotherapists. Findings would clarify the effectiveness of Coherence Therapy for the treatment of procrastination and the change of emotional states and cognitive structure of the students after the treatment.
