Introduction: Academic self-defeating behaviors, despite their temporary positive outcomes, ultimately contribute to students' academic failure. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the mediating role of emotional resilience in the relationship between positive and negative perfectionism, academic resilience with academic self-defeating behaviors among medical students.
Methods: The research method was cross-sectional and correlational, utilizing structural equation modeling. The statistical population included medical students from the Islamic Azad University, and the Maragheh School of Medical Sciences during the fall and winter semesters of the 2022–2023 academic year. Using a simple random sampling method, 340 students were selected to participate in the study. Data were collected using Tri-Short et al.’s Perfectionism Questionnaire (1995), Samuels’ Academic Resilience Questionnaire (2004), Merrell’s Emotional Resilience Scale (2011), and Azdarbin et al.’s Academic Self-Defeating Behavior Scale (2022). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, Sobel test, and bootstrap procedures through SPSS and AMOS version 24 software.
Results: The direct effect of positive perfectionism (-0.41), negative perfectionism (0.56), emotional resilience (-0.17) and academic resilience (-0.143) to estimation the academic self-defeating behaviors was significant (P <0.05). The indirect effect of positive perfectionism (t-value =-3.44), negative perfectionism (t-value =1.99) and academic resilience (t-value =-2.46) with the mediating role of emotional resilience were significant (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the mediating role of emotional resilience in the relationship between negative perfectionism, positive perfectionism, and academic resilience with students’ academic self-defeating behaviors, it appears that strengthening emotional resilience, along with enhancing positive perfectionism and academic resilience, can help reduce academic self-defeating behaviors. |
