Statement of the Problem

Back: Abstract     Home      Next: Background Research

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between a student’s procrastination level, and his or her choice in music. We intend to find out if different genres, such as hip-hop or country, are related to how much a student procrastinates. The key issue is whether or not a person procrastinates based on their music listening habits. Though this relationship might seem odd, some of our early research indicates that there might be a slight relationship between the procrastination level of a person, and their genre, which would make this study even more exciting.
