- Abstract
The present study is aimed to describe the implementation of cognitive restructuring to support positive behavior change in a procrastinator. A single case study is reported by observing a subject as she is introduced to the cognitive restructuring technique. The intervention is conducted in three stages; (1) promoting the subject's motivation as prior-intervention provision; (2) identifying cognitive distortion that retains procrastinating behavior and setting the target change; (3) assessing the intervention result using questionnaires. The study found that the subject could create faster and more positive thoughts in replacement of negative ones. Through more extended practice, the subject could develop more automatic positive reviews regarding the unpleasant events that lead to procrastination. Further study with more subjects and a longer behavioral observation post-intervention is suggested to obtain a better conclusion.
