Study on the Relationship between Procrastination and Perfectionism of College Students

Peipei Zhang, Weihong Wang

Abstract

To explore the correlation between procrastination and perfectionism, the present study investigated the procrastination and perfectionism of 218 college students, using Aitken Procrastination Inventory (API) and The Chinese Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS). The results showed that girl’s scores of procrastination are significantly higher than those of boy’s, but there isn’t any difference among grades. Procrastination was significantly positive correlated with concern over mistakes and doubts about actions, while the correlation between procrastination and organization was negative. Organization and doubts about actions are predictors of procrastination.
