Each company may have one or two habitual late employees. They are even late on time: always one or two minutes later than normal working hours, making you unhappy and unable to blame. But besides being late, they may be a responsible person in other areas. Today, Xiaobian’s Xiaobian brings you a psychological analysis about being late.
First of all: there is no root cause for habitual lateness. Excessive courtesy, optimism, multitasking, and many other factors can cause habitual lateness.

For example, if you want to go to a meeting with him/her, you will definitely miss the previous notice. If you go to the dinner together, you may have to be prepared to be three glasses of late penalty. And if you want to invite him/her to a surprise party, then you must tell the actual start time one hour in advance, otherwise they will definitely ruin their "grand appearance" link. These people around us are people who are late for inertia. The concepts of “deadline” and “punctuality” cannot be realized in them at all.
Many people who are habitually late are not rude, but they always follow the rules, but why do they seem to be deprived of their punctuality?

First, what kind of people love to be late?
A 2006 study found that 15% to 20% of Americans are chronically late. An in-depth analysis of these data found that long-term lateness caused nearly $90 billion in economic losses. When dealing with this horrific number of losses, people began to be motivated to deal with the problem of long-term lateness. The first question is: Which type of person is always late? Obviously this problem is related to the body clock in the body.
Jeff Conte, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, explored the issue in a 2001 study. First, he divided the experimental participants into two types of typical AB, type A (a man who is ambitious, competitive, and strives to improve his position), type B (creative, thoughtful, and good at exploring), then he Let the participants estimate how long a minute is without a clock. The study found that people in type A thought that they had passed the average of 1 minute in the past 58 seconds, while those in type B had considered the past one minute in the past 77 seconds.
In another study, Professor Conte explored the impact of “multitasking” or “trying multitasking” on people's lateness. All in all, people have a big impact when doing multitasking. If you belong to someone who likes to perform multiple tasks at the same time (an academic article is called a multi-dimensional time view), then you are more likely to be late. A study by the University of Utah in 2013 also supported this conclusion. The 13-year study concluded that those who prefer multitasking at the same time tend to be counterproductive and have worse job performance.

Second, being late is the end product of a series of activities
But all of the above are general explanations for most people who are late for inertia. Maybe your slow-spoken friend doesn't seem to fit the above, neither is the so-called typical B-type personality, nor does it like to perform multiple tasks at the same time. Then we can't help but wonder what is the difference between those who are slow and those who are punctual? Ron Helpman, a professional clinical social worker and therapist who studies late behavior, points out that when we ask this question, we assume by default that these two people are different. But in fact, there is no single root cause for long-term lateness. People may have different motivations and different behavior patterns, and being late is actually the end product of this series of activities.
Another problem is that people need to struggle to distribute their attention. Helpman pointed out that the time before the start of work was very boring, and the work was not attractive to people who were late for inertia, so they only got up and ready to go when they realized they were going to be late. In addition, some distracting things may also make people late. For example, if you open a newspaper before you are going to work, or start a video game, or even a cup of coffee, these things are difficult to put down once they start, so the delay is delayed. In other words, people who are late for inertia always turn their attention to things that are more attractive to them and ignore formal work.
However, the above is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, someone is a kind of good Mr./Miss, they may talk for a long time as soon as they answer the phone, and they will miss the time when they should go out. Some people may be late for work because they have sleep problems, they may be languid or even sleepy during work in the morning. Long-term lateness may also be influenced by long-term idealistic ideas. They will underestimate the time spent on the journey, such as ignoring the time of picking up and parking or waiting for the elevator. They assume that they can effectively grasp every minute. . Helpman also said that some latecomers felt that it was a waste of time to arrive early, and some long-term latecomers thought that giving them an early arrival would give them a feeling of powerlessness and a sense of being abandoned.
Helpman believes that lazy behavior can also be a learned behavior. She talked about an example of a friend who was habitually late. She traced the source and found out why she was late: when she was a child, she lived near the school, so she often took the time to go to school. The idea of ​​being able to start late is accompanied by her into adulthood. Even though the place where the friend lives after adulthood is no longer close to the destination, she still maintains her habits.

Third, the only way: to figure out the reason for being late
It is possible that you have subconsciously thought that the above enumerated reasons have one thing in common, that is, no one is deliberately late. People who are late do not feel that they are more superior than those who are waiting, or that their own time is more precious, so they are late. In fact, these people are often ashamed of their late behavior, even if they do not show it. Helpman said, "These people who are often late will also feel that they have been misunderstood by everyone. They are not deliberately late, but everyone has no understanding of themselves. There are also grievances for these latecomers. In the end, everyone's dissatisfaction becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy (also known as the Pygmalion effect, which refers to the thoughts formed by others, which will affect the behavior of others, and finally lead to the performance of others in line with the attitude and behavior expected at the beginning. It is like the proof that has been confirmed)". But the reason for this lateness is actually very rare.
The important thing is to say three times: for being late, because there is no single root cause, there is no single solution. If you are also a habitual latecomer, then you need to reflect on yourself and find out why you are late. If it is because of the distraction of attention, then it will remove things that distract you; if it is because of excessive courtesy and delay the end of work, you need to be more determined; if it is because of always optimism about things Attitude (every time thinks that time is sufficient), then you need to be more calm and serious about how the world works. Everyone has different problems, so there is no one-size-fits-all medicine that can solve everyone's problems.
Whether it is late or other things, in fact, everyone's behavior is affected by factors such as the growth environment, peers, personality, and situation at the time. What we need to do is to learn the problem-solving thinking mode, not just the solution to the single problem. .
