The purpose of this study was to analyze PhD students' beliefs about writing and how they rated their writing abilities. The Writing Process Questionnaire was established to acquire a deeper grasp of the perspectives held by PhD students toward academic writing. The results of this survey were analyzed to determine how PhD students perceive academic writing. It was interesting to study whether or not there was a connection between the perceptions of writing held by PhD students and the mental health of those persons. This was another exciting aspect of the research. 669 PhD students attending a prestigious university in Finland volunteered their time to respond to a questionnaire. The university in question is the University of Helsinki. In the current study, 26 questions were used to produce sum variables. These sum variables were then used to develop six distinct theoretical constructs, which were measured using various scales. Blocks, procrastination, perfectionism, intrinsic ability, knowledge transformation, and productivity were the names given to the various structures that were up for discussion.
 A few examples of these ideas include production, overcoming challenges, striving for excellence, and an individual's intrinsic potential. A confirmatory factor analysis, often known as a CFA, was carried out to verify the six-dimensional notion. The relationship between perfectionism, procrastination, and blockages positively correlates with all of these elements (exhaustion, stress, worry, and a general lack of interest) but negatively correlates with productivity. This is because perfectionism, procrastination, and blockages positively correlate with all of these elements except productivity. The validity of the writing scale's six-factor structure, which evaluates writing skill, was established by employing LISREL for either confirmatory research or analysis. This allowed for the establishment of the scale's validity. As a result, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument capable of accurately capturing a number of essential facets of the academic writing process, including the emotional components of this process. This conclusion can be reached as a consequence of the fact that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument.
