Perfectionism and its Correlation With Procrastination Tendencies Among University Students.

Abstract This study investigated the relationship between perfectionism and procrastination tendencies among university students.Perfectionism, characterized by a rigid pursuit of high personal standards and overly critical self-evaluation, has been linked to various psychological and behavioral outcomes. However, its connection to procrastination, the tendency to postpone or delay tasks, remains an area that warrants further investigation or a subject of ongoing research, particularly within the context of higher education. A sample of 52 university students from different educational streams participated in the study, completing standardized measures for both perfectionism and procrastination behaviors. Statistical analysis revealed a weak negative correlation between perfectionism and procrastination (rs = -0.23, p = 0.056), suggesting that students with higher perfectionism scores tended to exhibit slightly lower procrastination tendencies, though this relationship was not statistically significant at the conventional α = 0.05 level. These findings challenge common assumptions about perfectionism necessarily leading to increased procrastination, indicating that the relationship between these variables may be more complex than previously thought. The results contribute to our understanding of student behavior and may inform the development of more effective academic support strategies. Future research could explore potential mediating factors and investigate how different dimensions of perfectionism might distinctly influence procrastination behaviors in academic contexts.
