Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate procrastination among students and
its relationship with perfectionism and self-esteem. A sample of 100 college
students comprising of 50 females from Kinnaird College for Women and 50
males from Forman Christian College a Chartered University Lahore were
selected. Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS; Tuckman, 1991), Frost
Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS; Frost et al., 1990) and
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES; Rosenberg, 1965) were administered.
Results of Pearson Product Moment Correlation revealed that perfectionism was
positively correlated with procrastination. However, self-esteem was negatively
correlated with procrastination and perfectionism. Independent Sample t-test
analysis indicated that males scored higher on one dimension of perfectionism
i.e. concern over mistakes and procrastination, whereas women had higher selfesteem. These findings highlighted the need for active measures to reduce the
causes and consequences of procrastination for university students.
