Kashkoush

Shada Kashkoush is a PhD student in the School of Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the joint supervision of Dr. Yuliya Lipshits-Braziler and Prof. Ruth Butler.

Shada researches adaptive and maladaptive facets of career decisional procrastination.

Procrastination in educational and career decision-making is a common behaviour that is widely considered undesirable. Shada aims to refine a novel theoretical framework for describing the causes of procrastination in career decision-making and to test this framework empirically using the Career Decisional Procrastination (CDP) questionnaire that she is developing. Her research also seeks to explore the adaptive nature of the causes of career decisional procrastination. Shada hopes that her research findings will help facilitate career decision-making among individuals who are contemplating their next career move.

Shada grew up in Kfar Yasif. She obtained a BA in psychology at the University of Haifa and an MA in educational and clinical child psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is currently finishing her specialization in educational psychology. She has been involved in several voluntary activities and received three awards from the Hebrew University in recognition of her volunteer work. Nowadays, she volunteers as a psychologist. In her free time, she enjoys travelling, watching movies, and spending time with her family and friends.
