Author Contributions D. E. Gustavson, A. Miyake, and N. P. Friedman conceived and designed the study. Data were collected by trained research assistants at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado Boulder under the supervision of N. P. Friedman and J. K. Hewitt. All analyses were performed by D. E. Gustavson and N. P. Friedman in consultation with A. Miyake. D. E. Gustavson, A. Miyake, and N. P. Friedman drafted the manuscript, and all authors approved the final version of the manuscript for submission.
Abstract
Previous research has revealed a moderate and positive correlation between procrastination and impulsivity. However, little is known about why these two constructs are related. In the present study, we used behavior-genetics methodology to test three predictions derived from an evolutionary account that postulates that procrastination arose as a by-product of impulsivity: (a) Procrastination is heritable, (b) the two traits share considerable genetic variation, and (c) goal-management ability is an important component of this shared variation. These predictions were confirmed. First, both procrastination and impulsivity were moderately heritable (46% and 49%, respectively). Second, although the two traits were separable at the phenotypic level (r = .65), they were not separable at the genetic level (rgenetic = 1.0). Finally, variation in goal-management ability accounted for much of this shared genetic variation. These results suggest that procrastination and impulsivity are linked primarily through genetic influences on the ability to use high-priority goals to effectively regulate actions.
