摘要

Procrastination, a widespread problem, impairs diverse life areas, particularly work and education due to the exigence of specific deadlines. Since procrastination arises from difficulties in emotional regulation with patterns of avoidance-based coping strategies, protective factors such as psychological flexibility and self-compassion have been proposed. The present study aimed to preliminarily assessing the acceptability and potential benefits of a new 10-session group intervention, based on principles from acceptance and commitment therapy and self-compassion: STOP Procrastination. Eleven participants (63.6% female, 54.5% undergraduate students) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-intervention regarding procrastination, psychological flexibility, and self-compassion. STOP was delivered in group format by clinical psychologists throughout 10 weekly in-person sessions. Results indicate improvement in procrastination and emotional regulation processes. Participants also reported the intervention to be acceptable and useful, with perceived benefits. Although this is a preliminary pilot study, results are encouraging, and further research is warranted to evaluate efficacy of STOP Procrastination.
