dc.description.abstractMastering the writing skill is an important criterion for EFL students who desire to fully invest in their academic discipline. While it is essential to develop numerous writing abilities to communicate effectively, the research shows that the affective variables, such as self-esteem, perfectionism, stress, anxiety, and burnout exert a deep negative influence both on the process and product of writing. To explore the devastating effects of these constructs beyond, the study aims to investigate the interactive impact of anxiety and perfectionism on essay writing among the Iranian EFL students (n=85). The Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory of Cheng (2004) and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale of Hewitt and Flett (1990) were employed to measure the participants’ perceived writing anxiety and perfectionism. The results proved moderate levels of FLWA and perfectionism among the participants. They also revealed that the most prevalent type of anxiety and perfectionism among them were cognitive and self-oriented, respectively. Finally, the results revealed a strong positive relationship between their anxiety and perfectionistic tendencies. Thus, it was concluded that anxiety and perfectionism may interactively challenge EFL students more in their writing activities. The results are beneficial in deepening the understandings of teachers and researchers in the field pedagogically and practically.
