ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine perfectionism, emotional regulation with academic stress moderated by external locus of control. The participants of this study were 122 students using quota sampling techniques. The research instrument used the academic stress scale, perfectionist scale, emotional regulation scale and external locus of control scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis showed that there was no simultaneous relationship between perfectionism and emotional regulation with academic stress. Partially. There was also no relationship between perfectionism and academic stress as well as emotional regulation with academic stress. Furthermore, the results of moderated regression analysis found that external locus of control played a role as a moderator in emotional regulation against academic stress. However, it was not found among perfectionists against academic stress.
