Can their be link between procrastination and prospective memory?

I am thinking to do a study on looking at the relationship between prospective memory and academic procrastination. Rationale is that procrastinator might delay a task intentionally but might forget to get back to the task a result of poor prospective memory?

is it possible?

Thanks

We are Master Students in Decision Science that just did a study to explore the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and procrastination (moderated by emotion regulated- ERQ), in a within-subject design.

The participants measured their morning baseline HRV and filled out the academic procrastination questionnaire in the evening for 7 days.

We are unsure how to analyze the data and which tests to report.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I would like to receive some advice about path anaysis. I am assisting a promovendus who is researching motivation, procrastination and study progress. Out of these variables we want to formulate profiles. After that we want to examine whether student-regulated learning and executive functioning are predictors of these profiles.

After collecting data from surveys and exam grades, I made the following variables: high and low motivation, high and low procrastination and high, average and low study progress. Can I use path analysis to form the profiles?

Do you know any Procrastination questionnaire/test that is for public use?

I have no experience in statistics whatsoever and I am trying to teach myself online. Just wondering if anyone can help.

I have conducted an experiment with two groups

1. Morning Shift

2. Night Shift

and I tested to see how they would perform in a measure of prospective memory (a game they played on their computer)

Participants were engaged in an ongoing task, and then needed to remember to respond with the correct action when a target appeared on the screen.

As well as how many targets they managed to hit, I am also interested in their reaction time and how well they performed in the on going task.

I have all the data in an excel spread sheet I just don't know what to do with it.

I collected other information such as age, gender, cups of coffee, how long they had been awake, activity level during the day, and whether they had a nap and how sleepy they felt before the test.

And I would like to know whether I can see whether these things influenced the results at all, and if they did how I can "see through" that to get a more accurate answer as to whether shift start time affects prospective memory performance.

If anyone can shed some light on where to begin, or steps that need to be taken, programs I need to use, links I can follow - anything!

That would be great!!

Thank you!
