Behavioural Approach
Rebellion
-
Those who are telling us to do the tasks are putting us in a box of duty and we instead want to either do it "our way" or not do it at all in an attempt to gain this much needed independence from the people who have dictated our lives for us.
-
When parents tell us to do something, we want to do it our way
Following Behaviour
We are heavily influenced by our peers. Whether it be in our clothes, likes and dislikes, friendship groups etc. So is it so far fetched to think that behaviour could be effected too?
View our friends procrastinating for whatever reason, and we copy that behaviour to "fit in"
Ties back into the idea of self worth as we need to fit in with our friends to feel as if we are worthy

Pos Evaluation
Once again holds an attempt to explain procrastination from a focus on adolescents instead of a focus on it as a whole. Answers the question of the divide.
Research to support the theories of following behaviour seen in studies like Asch in which he highlighted the importance in being sure in yourself and following others. As well as social learning theories backing it up
Strong connection between self worth and following behaviour and rebellion (experience based knowledge)
Makes logical sense that the constraints on our actions can cause issues with motivation and how behaviours can be learnt from friends
Neg evaluation
-
Not all teenagers who rebel, procrastinate and those who procrastinate don't always rebel. There are some inconsistencies which seem to cause a certain level of doubt in the theory
