Abstract | Relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination has long been studied by
researchers. Among the many definitions of perfectionism, not a few of researchers focused
on studying multidimension of perfectionism such that studies concerning the relationship
between Maladaptive Evaluative Concerns (MEC) Perfectionism and academic
procrastination have been limited. The current study aimed to provide added knowledge on
the relationship between MEC Perfectionism and academic procrastination and the mediating
effect of cognitive and emotional variables in college students in Hong Kong. 776 university
students from different institutions in Hong Kong were recruited to fill in a battery of
questionnaires, including Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students, The Chinese version
of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, The Chinese version of Emotional Processing
Scale – 25 and Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory. All measures demonstrated good
internal consistencies. Significant positive correlation was found between MEC
Perfectionism and academic procrastination. Fear of failure, a cognitive variable, played a
mediating role between MEC Perfectionism and academic procrastination. Only one of the
five emotional processing difficulties – impoverished emotional experience showed a
significant mediating effect between fear of failure and academic procrastination. Potential
interventions targeting fear of failure and impoverished emotional experience were discussed.
