  text: '<jats:p> Abstract. Procrastination is the irrational delay of an intended
    task and is common among students. A delay can only be defined as procrastination
    when it is voluntary, the action was intended but not implemented, and the delay
    is accompanied by subjective discomfort. Established scales of procrastination
    cover mainly behavioral aspects but have neglected the emotional aspect. This
    inaccuracy concerning the construct validity might entail misconceptions of procrastination.
    Accordingly, we developed and validated the Behavioral and Emotional Academic
    Procrastination Scale (BEPS), which covers all aspects of the definition of procrastination.
    The 6-item scale measuring self-reported academic procrastination was tested in
    three studies. Study 1 ( N = 239) evaluated the psychometric qualities of the
    BEPS, indicating good item characteristics and internal consistency. Study 2 (
    N = 1,441) used confirmatory factor analysis and revealed two correlated factors:
    one covering the behavioral aspect and the other reflecting the emotional aspect.
    Measurement invariance was shown through longitudinal and multigroup confirmatory
    factor analyses. Study 3 ( N = 234) provided evidence for the scale’s convergent
    validity through correlations with established procrastination scales, self-efficacy,
    and neuroticism. The BEPS thus economically operationalizes all characteristics
    of academic procrastination and appears to be a reliable and valid self-report
    measure. </jats:p>'
