I have a habit of editing a comment for a bit after replying, actually I didn’t see your response until after editing, I don’t see how this changes your response in this instance though?
I added that caveat since the former group might have members who originally suffered more from procrastination as per the model, but eventually learned to deal with it, this might skew results if not taken into account.
It changes my response because while I kind of understand how to operationalize “group A procrastinates more than group B” I don’t quite understand how to operationalize “group A needs to more actively combat procrastination than group B.” Since what i was approving of was precisely the concreteness of the prediction, swapping it out for something I understand less concretely left me less approving.
