构建了一个模型,假设人们从多个选项中做选择,且部分意识到自己的自我控制问题。模型解释了为何提供更多选项可能诱发拖延,以及为何人们会在重要目标上拖延得更严重。

Abstract

Recent models of procrastination due to self-control problems assume that a procrastinator considers just one option and is unaware of her self-control problems. We develop a model where a person chooses from a menu of options and is partially aware of her self-control problems. This menu model replicates earlier results and generates new ones. A person might forgo completing an attractive option because she plans to complete a more attractive but never-to-be-completed option. Hence, providing a nonprocrastinator additional options can induce procrastination, and a person may procrastinate worse pursuing important goals than unimportant ones.
