“…It is argued that an accumulation of the adverse effects of various factors on personality development makes adolescence a period in which various forms of psychopathology are more likely to develop (McLaughlin et al, 2015;Prati, Tomasetto, 2022). For this reason, both researchers and practising psychologists point to manifestations of personality traits in young people that can signal, on the one hand, a disturbed development of their personality, but on the other, predict the need for an early psychological intervention.…”

Procrastination, or intentional delay, is a phenomenon that makes the functioning of young people harder.Recently, this issue has been given a lot of attention in psychology and education sciences. Students who delay various activities may experience negative emotions and problems related to psychological health and daily functioning. This research aims to examine the links between selected personality traits (in the Big Five model and underlying autism spectrum disorder) and the propensity for engaging in procrastination behaviours. The research involved 530 primary school students (seventh- and eight-graders), aged from 13 to 15 years (M = 13.8, SD = 0.48; 58.5% females and 41.5% boys). During adolescence, various non-adaptive personality traits may contributeto the development of procrastination, which makes it harder for adolescents to make choices, decisions or fulfill their duties in a timely manner. The research makes use of the following methods: the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI); Polish version by Łaguna, Bąk, Purc, Mielniczuk, Oleś, 2014; the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) by Steel, 2010; Polish adaptation by Stępień,Cieciuch, 2013; amended by Stępień, Topolewska, 2014, and the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Adolescent Version by Barron-Cohen et al., 2006; Polish version by Pisula, Rynkiewicz, Łucka, 2010. The research results show that conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability are significant predictors of procrastination in early adolescence. It was found there is a significant association between agreeableness and generalised tendency to procrastinate in terms of decision-making and non-adaptation in boys. The results obtained can be useful in the formulation of guidelines for parents and teachers planning and organising the work of students who have problems meeting school demands.

“…In recent years, life history theory has been used in developmental psychology research and expanded to explain the formation of several behavioral and psychological traits (Ellis et al, 2009). Existing studies have emphasized the connection between the life history strategy and behavioral traits among children and adolescents (Del Giudice, 2014; Del Giudice, 2020; Ellis & Del Giudice, 2014; Ellis et al, 2021; Figueredo et al, 2006; Prati & Tomasetto, 2022). Especially, studies have verified that slow life history strategy predicted more behaviors that benefit others and less unfavorable behaviors for others among adolescents (Zhu et al, 2020).…”

IntroductionThe present study sought to investigate whether the relationship between childhood trauma, childhood socioeconomic (SES), and adolescents' altruism were mediated by their life history strategies and different adverse childhood experiences may function diversely on altruism, with two waves of data collected 6 months apart in a longitudinal design among Chinese adolescents.MethodsA total of 658 adolescents (Mage = 13.51, SD = 0.73 at T1) were recruited and completed the online survey; their life history strategies were measured by the Mini‐K, the Delayed of Gratification Questionnaire (DOG), and the Chinese version of the Adolescent Risk‐Taking Questionnaire (ARQ‐RB) together, and their altruism was collected again after six months.ResultsAfter controlling for gender and their altruism at T1, the results showed that childhood trauma (i.e., emotional maltreatment, physical maltreatment), as well as low SES and fast life history strategy, were significantly negatively correlated with adolescents' altruism at T2. Importantly, life history strategy at T1 mediated the relationship between T1 emotional maltreatment, T1 low SES, and adolescents' altruism at T2. However, the effect of physical maltreatment on altruism was not mediated by life history strategy.ConclusionsThis study indicated that emotional maltreatment and low SES can affect adolescents' altruism by influencing the formation of adolescents' life history strategies. The findings revealed the different influences of adverse childhood experiences on adolescents' altruism, which supplied new empirical evidence for the life history theory and provided certain reference values for cultivating adolescents' altruism.
