The Mediating Role of Academic Emotions and Psychological Well-Being in the Relationship between Perfectionism and Academic Stress in Students
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic emotions (positive and negative) and psychological well-being in the relationship between perfectionism and academic stress in undergraduate students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. The present study was conducted purposively and the method of data collection was descriptive correlation. The statistical population of the study included all students of Mohaghegh Ardabili College who were studying in the academic year 2019-2020. 370 subjects were selected as sample size by multistage clustering method. Academic Stress Questionnaire (ASQ), Perfectionism Questionnaire (PANPS), Academic Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) and Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (RPWBQ) were used. The results showed that positive perfectionism has a negative relationship with academic stress and negative perfectionism was positively related to academic stress, positive academic emotions were negatively related to academic stress, and negative academic emotions were positively related to academic stress. There was a negative relationship between psychological well-being and academic stress. Due to the indirect statistical theorem (T-subel) and VAF index, the mediation of negative and positive academic emotions and psychological well-being was found between positive and negative perfectionism variables with significant academic stress. According to the results, it is suggested that due to the important and significant role of academic emotions as a mediating variable, the positive and negative academic emotions of students should be identified, and by strengthening positive emotions and reducing negative emotions and improving well-being, the foundation for reducing academic stress in students should be established.
