Abstract
Abstract. The article is devoted to the phenomenon of procrastination. The first works on the problem of procrastination appeared in the late 90's of XX century. There is no a single view on the definition and properties of the phenomenon of procrastination. In the psychological literature, this term is usually understood as the conscious postponement of the subject's planned actions, despite the fact that it will cause certain problems. Based on the theoretical and empirical data, it was hypothesized that there is a link between personality traits (hypochondria, depression, hysteria, psychopathy, paranoia, psychasthenia, schizophrenia, hypomania) and propensity to procrastinate.The sample consisted of students aged 18 to 23 years. (61 respondents.) General Procrastination Scale (Lay), Procrastination Scale (Tuckman), "Mini-Mult" (adapted by V.P. Zaitsev and V.N. Kozyul) were used in the study. It is proved that procrastination is influenced by such personality traits as hypochondria, depression, hysteria, psychopathy, paranoia, hypomania etc. The further prospects for studying the phenomenon can include studing the methods of overcoming procrastinating tendencies, as well as investigating the positive side of this aspect.
