Abstract
The current investigation focused on how academic pressure manifests as emotional exhaustion in students and the extent to which perfectionism had a mediating effect. In all, 300 students completed standardised measures of academic pressure, perfectionism and emotional exhaustion. A correlational analysis found a positive correlation between academic pressure and both perfectionism and emotional exhaustion. Using a regression analysis, it was demonstrated that academic pressure is a strong predictor of emotional exhaustion, and through the mediation analysis, perfectionism was found to only partially mediate the relationship between academic pressure and emotional exhaustion. Therefore, it appears that maladaptive perfectionism serves to increase the negative effect of academic stress and as such should be treated as part of any program aimed at reducing burnout in an academic setting. The study presents implications for educational policy, stress management initiatives and directions for further research.
