The aim of our research is to show psychological peculiarities of procrasti¬nation as the important problem in Modern Psychology, to describe the results of our research of the level of procrastination of teenagers.
Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, and generalization. The experimental method was the method of or¬ganizing empirical research.
The results of the research. Respondents with a low level of procrastination are highly organized and efficient in completing tasks. They are usually able to plan their activities with precision and adhere to the planned schedule, which allow them to avoid procrastination and postponing tasks for later. This ability to complete tasks in time is the result of well-developed time management skills, organization, and self-discipline. Pupils with a low level of procrastination are able to tune into completing tasks, even if they require significant effort or diffi¬culties arise. They can also work effectively under stress, when they are affected by several tasks at once.
Conclusions. Procrastination, as a multifactorial psychological phenomenon, has come a long way from a simple understanding as laziness to the modern interpretation as a complex psychological process. Its emergence and development are associated with the evolution of views on human behavior, motivation and internal conflicts. From ancient times to the present day, pro¬crastination has been changed in its understanding, and today it is considered not only as a personal flaw, but as a problem that requires special attention and intervention.
