          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: las dificultades para regular emociones en situaciones de evaluación se manifiestan como niveles elevados de ansiedad y conductas evitativas. Los rasgos de perfeccionismo y las conductas de procrastinación se asocian con el incremento del malestar emocional, en las diversas fases del ciclo aprendizaje-evaluación. Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia de una intervención para mejorar la regulación emocional en situaciones de evaluación. Método: se realizó un estudio de caso, en el que participó una estudiante universitaria de la carrera de abogacía con elevada ansiedad ante los exámenes orales. Se aplicó un tratamiento cognitivo conductual de seis sesiones, orientado a disminuir la ansiedad ante la evaluación, los aspectos desadaptativos del perfeccionismo y las conductas de procrastinación. Se reunieron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos al inicio de la intervención, a su finalización y seis meses después. Resultados: el análisis comparativo de los puntajes previos y posteriores mostró disminuciones en la ansiedad y la procrastinación. Los puntajes en las medidas de perfeccionismo no variaron. El análisis del material cualitativo indica un incremento en la sensación de control, la confianza en las propias habilidades y la satisfacción con el desempeño, mayor fluidez en la comunicación durante el examen oral. Discusión: se describen los aspectos clínicos, análisis funcional, sintomatología asociada y se discuten las implicancias de los resultados.

Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, at the intervention´s beginning and finalization, and six months later. Results: Comparative analysis of the pre - post scores, showed a decrease in anxiety and procrastination. Perfectionism scores did not change. The analysis of the qualitative data suggests an increase in sense of control, self confidence, satisfaction with the performance, and more fluid communication during oral exams.

          The nature of procrastination: a meta-analytic and theoretical review of quintessential self-regulatory failure.

          Procrastination is a prevalent and pernicious form of self-regulatory failure that is not entirely understood. Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination's possible causes and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection. Strong and consistent predictors of procrastination were task aversiveness, task delay, self-efficacy, and impulsiveness, as well as conscientiousness and its facets of self-control, distractibility, organization, and achievement motivation. These effects prove consistent with temporal motivation theory, an integrative hybrid of expectancy theory and hyperbolic discounting. Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially because its prevalence appears to be growing. (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved.
