Impact of Self-Efficacy and Perfectionism on Academic Procrastination among University Students in Pakistan

Reviewer 1 Report
This was a very interesting study (N=405) and the statistical and factor analysis (incl t tests) were relevant, revelatory and well displayed. There is a lot of data in the histograms presented, that could do with some more explanation for a lay reader. For example, in simple terms, what were the average scores for each of the scales measured -ie. what did the sample get for self-efficacy score? Procrastination score? etc. I can see the variables and how they were correlated but would like to see some simple descriptive statistics too, for a more lay reader.
However, that said, a very interesting study. Timely too, given the increase in anxiety being experienced by this college generation - and nice to know how this impacts on procrastination.
I would like to see the Discussion section added to - it repeats the data back to us and needs more nuance and explanation of where these findings sit in relation to CURRENT literature on these 3 topics. It is currently only 3 small paragraphs and detracts from the writing, in its current form.
