Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to examine how gender classification effects self-reported ratings of procrastination. Past research has found no differences due to biological sex but has yet to examine how gender relates to procrastination. Participants (n = 242) completed the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (in Spence & Helmreich, 1978) and the Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991). As predicted, males and females did not differ on their procrastination scores. As predicted, participants classified as masculine reported significantly lower procrastination scores than participants classified as feminine. Implications for research are discussed.
