Abstract
Bedtime procrastination describes extending one’s bedtime, whilst aware of negative consequences such as sleep disruption or lower wellbeing and still engaging in it. Revenge bedtime procrastination (RBP) more specifically implies this procrastination is done in order to compensate for loss of control during the day, revenging on how daily hours were filled. For students social interaction or relatedness is important for need satisfaction within the framework of the self-determination theory. Need satisfaction positively influences well-being, relatedness creates a feeling of intimacy, frustration results in the opposite. Frustration of relatedness during the day might make students compensate for this at night, by engaging in RBP. In this self-report study the influence of relatedness on RBP for students was analyzed through questionnaires (n=321), whilst also looking at a possible moderation effect of being introverted or extraverted since introverted people are thought to be less in need of social interaction and more fond of personal time. The expectation was that lower relatedness would result in higher tendencies of RBP, results via a correlational analysis for this were significant. Furthermore it was expected that extraverts would partake in RBP more, correlational and regression analysis showed that introverts were very moderately related to RBP instead of extraverts. No significant moderation effects of the two personality types were further found between the relation of relatedness and RBP. Implications on theoretical and practical level are discussed.
