| Abstract: | Our study aims to find out if the activities which students occupy themselves with when they
procrastinate include signs of non-chemical addiction; as well as to find out the prevalence of
procrastination among students.
In the theoretical part, we describe procrastination, emotions that are connected to it, as well as
triggers that result in procrastination. In this part, we also talk about addiction and dependency,
as well as describe behavioral addiction. The theoretical part also includes a video gaming
section, as it is built in the game's nature to motivate the player to play as much as possible,
which makes it a prototype of a dangerous activity for a person that is in need of an immediate
reward, when they are avoiding a hard and long-term goal, in other words, procrastinating.
The empirical part presents the study, describes the quantitative methodology and the sample
used in the research. The findings provide the reader more information about procrastination
among students and insights on procrastination. Results showed that the prevalence of
procrastination among our sample was 69.8%, 47.8% of the procrastinators reported
experiencing signs of behavioral addiction towards their procrastination activity.
We can conclude that even though procrastination itself is not as dangerous as addiction, it
applies a lot of stress on the procrastinator, as well as provides an approximate 50% chance to
develop symptoms of behavioral addiction, which is something more serious. Not only students,
but everybody should be more careful with how they spend their free time, as well as pay
attention to themselves to know when their body and their feelings are telling them they are in
distress. Most importantly, do not run from procrastination, but face it, forgive yourself and
find ways to overcome it.
