M., & Crompton, J. E., (2018). Procrastination and Procrastination and anxiety: Exploring the contributions of multiple anxiety-related disorders. Current Issues in Personality Psychology, 6(2), 122-129. Research question and/or hypothesis The study aimed to investigate the associations between procrastination and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, health anxiety, and panic disorder among undergraduate university students. The research question focused on understanding these relationships, while hypotheses predicted significant positive associations between procrastination and symptoms of panic disorder and social anxiety disorder, a positive relationship with symptoms of OCD, and no significant relationship with symptoms of GAD. Since no prior research explored procrastination in individuals with excessive health anxiety, no specific hypothesis was made regarding this relationship. These hypotheses guided the examination of procrastination's links with various anxiety symptoms among the study participants. Methods: Description of participants Age: Participants in the study ranged from 16 to 59 years old, with an average age of 20.47 years (SD = 4.87). Ethnicity: The majority of participants identified as Caucasian (59.00%), followed by Asian (13.80%), Middle Eastern (6.90%), East Indian (7.30%), African- Canadian (5.90%), and other minorities (7.10%). Gender: Approximately 73.50% of the participants identified as female. Other important details: The study included 300 non-treatment seeking, non- clinical undergraduate university students. Most participants were single (56.00%), while 36.90% reported being currently dating and 6.30% reported being married. The measures used in the study included the General Procrastination Scale (GPS) for procrastination tendencies, the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI- R) for OCD symptoms, the Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Self Report (PDSS-SR) for panic disorder symptoms, the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire–IV (GADQ-IV) for GAD symptoms, the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) for social anxiety symptoms, and the Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) for health anxiety.

CAS 301 Pamella H. Oliver, Ph.D. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms Panic disorder symptoms Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) symptoms Social anxiety symptoms Health anxiety Measure: General Procrastination Scale (GPS) Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Self Report (PDSS-SR) Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire–IV (GADQ-IV) Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) Reporter: Self-report measure (for all measures) Methods: the procedure The research study involved undergraduate psychology students recruited from a research pool who participated in exchange for course credit. Participants self- enrolled through an online system and provided consent after reading a description of the study. They completed a demographics questionnaire and six self-report measures assessing procrastination and symptoms of various anxiety-related disorders. After the questionnaires were completed, participants were presented with an online debriefing form. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the university's Research Ethics Board. Overall, the study employed online data collection methods and adhered to ethical guidelines in research involving human participants. Summary of results (be specific). Were their hypotheses supported or not? The results of the study indicate a significant relations between procrastination and specific anxiety-related disorders. The Generalized Procrastination Scale (GPS) demonstrated positive correlations with the Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Self- Report (PDSS-SR), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), and Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SHAI). However, there were no significant correlations between the GPS and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) or the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-IV (GADQ-IV). Moderate correlations were observed among all symptom measures, suggesting a relationship between various anxiety-related disorders. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify which symptom measures uniquely predicted GPS scores. The analysis revealed statistical significance, with only the PDSS-SR emerging as a unique predictor of GPS scores. This suggests that panic disorder symptoms uniquely contribute to procrastination tendencies among the study participants. Overall, these findings highlight the relationship between procrastination and specific anxiety disorders, emphasizing the importance of considering individual symptomatology in 2
