Abstract
At least 50% of student population report to be suffering severe procrastination, which affects
academic success and mental well-being. Current research focusing on interventions of
procrastination have promising results for CBT. In the current study, it is examined whether
the effective CBT intervention of Rozental is still effective while shortened and translated.
This serves the goal of decreasing drop-out rates, and increasing international use. Also, the
possible moderating role of self-esteem will be examined. To answer these questions,
participants are randomly assigned to either control or intervention group. The Pure
Procrastination Scale (PPS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) are used for the
measurement of procrastination and self-esteem. Results show that the intervention is
effective, but the moderating role of self-esteem was not found significant. Further research
could reveal in what manner self-esteem is related to procrastination.
Key words: Procrastination, self-esteem, CBT, academic procrastination
