Abstract
The aim of the research is to examinate the relationship between striving for self-actualizaiton and procrastination among university students.
Methods. To get the empirical data, two methods have been used: PASS (Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students by L. Solomon & E. Rothblum) in the adaptation of Zvereva M. V and Modificated questionnary of self-actualization diagnostic, САМОАЛ (Everett Shostrom, adaptation of A. V. Lazukin, N. F. Kalina).
Results. Analysis of results showed the presence of many reliable and fairly stable correlations between the demonstrations of procrastination and the components of personality self-actualization.
Conclusion. Being unable to live in the present day, postponing life «for later» is related to several procrastination characteristics, like high level of social anxiety, laziness, feeling pleasure from completing tasks in the last moment, the fear of judgement by other people, expressed constant dissatisfaction with oneself, motivation to avoid failure and impulsivity when making decisions without sufficient control from the side of consciousness.
