Survey Data on Perfectionism and Practice Procrastination Among Chinese Piano Majors

Xuemei Zhang published survey data from 156 Chinese undergraduate piano majors on figshare in 2026. The data includes responses to the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory-Revised, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and an adapted Practice Procrastination Scale. It was used to test a moderated mediation model linking perfectionism to procrastination via anxiety, with self-efficacy as a moderator.

• Test moderated mediation models in psychological research based on the described variables of anxiety and self-efficacy
• Identify at-risk music students based on profiles of perfectionism and low self-efficacy described in the study
• Develop targeted educational interventions based on the cognitive-emotional-behavioral pathway suggested by the findings

Strengths

• Data from 156 participants provides a sample size suitable for statistical mediation analysis
• Includes validated psychological scales such as the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and K-MPAI-R
• Analysis was conducted using established statistical methods (SPSS, PROCESS macro) with 5,000 bootstrap samples

Limitations
