Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of components of perfectionism and goal orientations in anticipation of self-regulation in students. The statistical population of this research consisted of all the Shiraz University's students in the academic year 2010-11 (1389-90s.c.). The sample of the research were 315 students, consisted of 172 female and 143 male students who were selected through multistage cluster-random sampling from Shiraz University. The instruments were Goal Orientation Questionnaire (Midgley's ,1998), Self Regulation Questionnaire (Boufard's, 1995) and Perfectionism Inventory (Hill's ,2004). The statistical methods correlation, t-test for independent groups and regression were applied to analyze the data. The results showed that from components of perfectionism, only adaptive perfectionism is significantly able to anticipate self-regulation (P<0.0001). None of goal orientation aspects were able to significantly predict self-regulation. These results indicate the effects of beliefs on cognitive processes such as self-regulation.
