About the Event

The overall theme of this At Home event for sixth formers is Approaches to Research Design making links to A Level, and equivalent, curricula, whilst providing an insight into the teaching and learning experience at university.

Presented by Dr Fuschia Sirois, the title of this session is: Is procrastination bad for your health?

Procrastination is a common problem that is seemingly harmless – or is it? A growing evidence base suggests that putting off important tasks, like writing that term paper or going to the gym, may have some very unhealthy consequences. This talk will critically review the scientific evidence on the potential health consequences of procrastination and the various research methods that have been used to suggest a link between procrastination and health-related outcomes.

Suitable for: Year 12 and 13 students studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Psychology and related disciplines.
