Adult men (n=582) and women (n=765) from six nations(Spain, Peru, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States) completed two reliable and valid measures of chronic procrastination.Because both arousal and avoidant procrastination types were significantly related across the entire sample (r=.72,p <.001) and within each national sample, regression analyses calculated "pure" arousal and "pure" avoidant procrastinators, controlling for the scale scores of the other scale. Results indicated no significant sex or nationally differences within and between nations on self-reported arousal or avoidant procrastination. Overall,13.5% and 14.6% of men and women self-identified as either arousal or avoidant procrastination, respectively. These findings suggest that the tedency toward frequent delays in starting or completing tasks may be prevalent across diverse populations in spite of their distinct cultural values, norms, and practices.
