37、s to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget.

However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a s

39、hort deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still h
