Abstract

Within the context of the cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotion (CMR), current research has examined the relationships between academic perfectionism, social support from friends, and fear of failure in university students. 372 university students (73.5% were female, 26.5% were male) voluntarily completed the questionnaires. The results showed positive relationships between academic perfectionism and fear of failure. In addition, social support from friends and fear of failure were negatively related. Furthermore, as a result of the structural equation modeling applied to determine the relationships between latent variables, it was determined that academic perfectionism predicted fear of failure positively and support from friends negatively. Our findings provide important evidence that academic perfectionism and social support from friends can influence fears of failure in university students.
