Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of positive psychological capital on achievement motivation and procrastination behavior of nursing undergraduates and the moderating effect of positive perfectionism on mediation.Methods:Using the cluster sampling method, a total of 550 nursing undergraduates from the 1st to 4th grades of School of Nursing of a medical university were selected as research objects from May to June 2018. General information questionnaire, Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS) , Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) , positive perfectionism dimension of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and General Procrastination Scale (GPS) were used for investigation. PROCESS software was used for moderated mediation effect analysis.Results:A total of 550 questionnaires were issued and 509 valid questionnaires were finally recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.55%. The GPS score of 509 nursing undergraduates was (55.08±8.18) , AMS score was (-0.03±6.02) , PPQ score was (4.35±0.70) and score of positive perfectionism dimension was (17.26±4.69) . Achievement motivation, positive psychological capital and positive perfectionism were all negatively correlated with procrastination behavior ( r=-0.245, -0.415, -0.357; P<0.01) . Positive psychological capital played a partial mediating role between achievement motivation and procrastination behavior, and the mediating effect accounted for 42.31% of the total effect. Positive perfectionism had a moderating effect on the second half of the mediating pathway of positive psychological capital ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:The procrastination behavior of nursing undergraduates is at the middle level. Achievement motivation can influence procrastination behavior through positive psychological capital and positive perfectionism regulates the relationship between positive psychological capital and procrastination behavior.
