“…In one study, immigrants with higher need for closure reported using avoidance coping strategies in adjusting to the new culture, which was also linked to reduced contact with host nationals (Kosic, 2004). Other studies suggest that need for closure is particularly important for personal and interaction adjustment.…”

“…A few studies suggest that the sociopolitical context (Bourhis, Moïse, Perreault, & Senécal, 1997;Bourhis, Montaruli, El-Geledi, Harvey, & Barrette, 2010), demographic characteristics (Allen, Vaage, & Hauff, 2006), and personality factors such as need for cognitive closure (Kosic, 2004(Kosic, , 2006 influence cultural orientations. Longitudinal studies starting ideally right before migration or very shortly after would allow for the identification of initial predictors of acculturation trajectories, which, in turn, would facilitate the identification of individuals who are more likely to experience psychosocial adjustment difficulties (Nguyen and BenetMartínez, 2013).…”

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a marker of parasympathetic activity hypothesized to index a neurophysiological system supporting social engagement behaviours. Following migration, people must navigate and adapt to a new sociocultural environment. Whether RSA impacts this psychological acculturation process is unknown. This longitudinal study investigated whether resting RSA on arrival in the receiving country was related to changes in cultural orientations toward both mainstream and heritage cultural groups during the first five months following migration. Sixty new international students provided information on their cultural orientations toward the mainstream and heritage cultural groups shortly after arrival in the new country and two and five months after the first assessment. Results indicated that both heritage and mainstream orientations increased linearly over time. Furthermore, greater resting RSA at baseline was prospectively associated with larger increases in positive orientation toward the mainstream culture but not the heritage culture, over and above individual differences in extraversion, depression, and anxiety. These data provide longitudinal evidence that higher RSA promotes an approach-oriented stance toward a novel cultural environment.

“…The three most frequently mentioned coping strategies include task-oriented strategies, emotion-oriented strategies, and avoidance-oriented strategies (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989;Endler & Parker, 1990, 1994Kosic, 2004). Task-oriented coping strategies reduce stress by focusing on immediate problems.…”

Rethinking Procrastination: Positive Effects of "Active" Procrastination Behavior on Attitudes and Performance

ABSTRACT. Researchers and practitioners have long regarded procrastination as a selfhandicapping and dysfunctional behavior. In the present study, the authors proposed that not all procrastination behaviors either are harmful or lead to negative consequences. Specifically, the authors differentiated two types of procrastinators: passive procrastinators versus active procrastinators. Passive procrastinators are procrastinators in the traditional sense. They are paralyzed by their indecision to act and fail to complete tasks on time. In contrast, active procrastinators are a "positive" type of procrastinator. They prefer to work under pressure, and they make deliberate decisions to procrastinate. The present results showed that although active procrastinators procrastinate to the same degree as passive procrastinators, they are more similar to nonprocrastinators than to passive procrastinators in terms of purposive use of time, control of time, self-efficacy belief, coping styles, and outcomes including academic performance. The present findings offer a more sophisticated understanding of procrastination behavior and indicate a need to reevaluate its implications for outcomes of individuals.
