Abstract

Using Terry-Short et al.'s (1995) Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (PNP) and the Boredom Proneness Scale-Short Form (BP-SF), we intend to investigate the relationships between college students' perfectionistic tendencies in relation to boredom proneness. Much research has been done in the area of perfectionism and we aim to further the research by examining specific personality differences in students exhibiting positive and negative perfectionistic tendencies and boredom proneness characteristics. Previous research has shown that personality differences exist between positive and negative perfectionists (Terry-Short et al., 1995). We plan to examine the correlations between depression, procrastination, satisfaction with life, stress, agreeableness, control, boredom proneness, and positive and negative perfectionism.
