| Abstract | The topic of procrastination (putting off for tomorrow what one should do today) is introduced as a well-known phenomenon that has been the subject of widespread general interest, modest professional activity, and remarkably little research interest. In this paper, explicit criteria are formulated to define the phenomenon. The various etiological and treatment perspectives (psychodynamic, behaviorist, and cognitive) are described. Distinctions are made between internal versus external locus of avoidant responses and between positive versus negative task valence. Internal locus of avoidant responses refers to intrapersonal characteristics that activate avoidant responses with regard to tasks or decisions, while external locus of avoidant responses refers to task or decision characteristics that elicit these avoidant responses. Positive task valence is defined as an effort to succeed, to complete a task or reach a decision satisfactorily, and negative task valence is defined as an effort to court failure. Procrastination is discussed in relation to broad concepts in the field of stress and coping. The paper concludes that procrastination is more than a curious human aberration; it represents a dysfunction of important human abilities to establish priorities and the ability to perform these tasks in a conflict-free, efficient manner.
