Data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling statistical method. The results showed that the proposed model had a good fit (d2 = df = 2.68, CFI = 0.939, GFI = 0.925, AGFI = 0.885, and RMSEA = 0.075). (P <0.01) negatively and negative perfectionism (p <0.01) positively predict academic procrastination.
