Abstract

Procrastination is frequently associated with postponing to make a decision or to act. Such phenom- enon could be found in almost all walks of life. Therefore a comprehensive understanding to allevi- ate it is urgently needed. This article compared four approaches which tend to explain procrastina- tion: psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, behavioristic, cognitive, and temporal motivation theory (TMT). As a recent and comprehensive approach, TMT was used as the main theoretical framework (Steel, 2007). TMT approach was believed to accommodate the other three previous theoretical ap- proaches. Further explanation and critical elaboration on TMT are discussed. Prokrastinasi seringkali dihubungkan dengan perilaku menunda mengambil putusan atau bertindak. Fenomena tersebut dapat dijumpai di hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan. Karena itu pemahaman yang lebih terpadu untuk mengatasinya sangatlah diperlukan. Artikel ini membandingkan empat pendekatan untuk menjelaskan prokrastinasi, yaitu psikoanalitik dan psikodinamik, perilakuan/behavioristik, kognitif, dan teori motivasi temporal (TMT). Sebagai pendekatan teoretis terkini dan terlengkap, TMT digunakan sebagai kerangka teoretis utama (Steel, 2007). Pendekatan TMT diyakini telah mewadahi ketiga pendekatan teoretis sebelumnya. Ulasan mengenai pendekatan TMT secara lebih lanjut beserta kritiknya telah dibahas.

Abstract

This experimental study examined whether Chinese zodiac personality descriptions, when used as priming stimuli, affect logical thinking ability among Generation Z students. A 2x2 factorial design (valence x validity) was applied to 105 college students aged 18-25, who were randomly assigned to one of four groups: positive-valid, positive-invalid, negative-valid, or negative-invalid. Logical thinking was measured using 15-minute Sudoku Logical Task administered before and after priming. A one-way ANOVA showed no significant overall effect of priming on logical thinking ability (F = 1.290, p-value = 0.282 > 0.05). However, paired sample t-tests revealed a significant improvement in the negative-valid (t = 3.266, p-value = 0.003 < 0.05) and negative-invalid (t = 2.495, p-value = 0.020) groups, whereas no significant changes were observed in the positive conditions. These exploratory results were based on uncorrected p-values and should be interpreted with caution due to potential Type I error inflation. These results suggest that negative descriptions, even when perceived as valid or invalid, may elicit compensatory motivation to protect one’s self-concept. The findings extend the Situated Inference Model and Self-Enhancement Theory by emphasizing affective valence as a stronger determinant of cognitive engagement than perceived validity. Practically, challenge-based feedback may enhance logical thinking when framed constructively.
