Üniversite öğrencilerinin ödev yapma, proje yazma, derslere devam etme, sınavlara hazırlanma gibi durumlarına yönelik belirledikleri yüksek beklentiler, hata yapma endişeleri, ailesel beklentiler, aileden aldıkları eleştiri, yaptıklarından emin olamama ve düzenli olmaya yönelik düşünceleri veya geleceğe yönelik düşüncelerinde meydana gelen umutsuzluk onların akademik erteleme davranışını göstermesinde etkili olabilir. Bu bilgilerden hareketle bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinde mükemmeliyetçilik ile umutsuzluğun akademik erteleme davranışı üzerindeki rolünü araştırmaktır. Çalışma ilişkisel desene uygun olarak yürütülmüştür.
