Influences of Procrastination, Rigor, and Racial/Ethnic Group Differences on Changing Academic Majors

We examined procrastination, disciplinary rigor, and academic major changes among diverse undergraduates. Results showed that Latino and White students differed by disciplinary rigor when changing academic majors; however, GPA and procrastination did not underlie the difference. As predicted, procrastination negatively correlated to conscientiousness, emotional stability, and GPA.
