Abstract:
Objective:To explore the impact of negative perfectionism on academic procrastination, as well as the mediating role of anxiety and the moderating role of negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies.Methods:In December 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 4 178 students from a medical college in Heilongjiang Province. The Zi negative perfectionism questionnaire, procrastination assessment scale-student, generalized anxiety disorder-7, and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire were used to conduct the questionnaire survey, and 4 004 valid questionnaires were recovered. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, PROCESS macro program was used for mediation and moderation effect analysis.Results:(1) The scores of nursing students' negative perfectionism, anxiety, negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy, and academic procrastination were (120.48±23.40), (12.75±5.36), (44.82±11.20), and (42.95±14.30), respectively. (2) Negative perfectionism was positively correlated with anxiety ( r=0.311, P<0.01) and academic procrastination ( r=0.113, P<0.01). Academic procrastination was positively correlated with anxiety ( r=0.190, P<0.01) and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies ( r=0.260, P<0.01). (3) Anxiety played a partially mediating role between negative perfectionism and academic procrastination, with direct effect and mediating effect accounting for 49.11% (0.055/0.112) and 50.89% (0.057/0.112) of the total effect, respectively. (4) The effect of negative perfectionism on anxiety was moderated by negative cognitive emotions, and the predictive effect of negative perfectionism on anxiety was stronger in nursing college students with high negative cognitive emotion ( β=0.231, P<0.001). Conclusion:Among nursing college students, negative perfectionism can predict academic procrastination through anxiety, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies moderate the predictive effect of negative perfectionism on anxiety.
