This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Studyholism Inventory (SI-10) among university students. The research employed a descriptive and psychometric design. The statistical population included students at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2024. A total of 380 students were selected using the cluster sampling method and completed the Studyholism Inventory (SI-10; Loscalzo et al., 2018), the Big Three Perfectionism Scale – Short Form (BTPS-SF; Feher et al., 2019), and the modified Maslach Burnout Inventory (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a two-factor structure for the SI-10, identifying the dimensions of studyholism and study engagement, with acceptable model fit indices (RMSEA = 0.08, GFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.94). Reliability analysis showed Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.75 for the total inventory, 0.80 for studyholism, and 0.73 for study engagement. The results revealed that studyholism was positively correlated with perfectionism and academic burnout, while study engagement showed a positive correlation with perfectionism and a negative correlation with academic burnout, supporting the convergent and divergent validity of the inventory. Furthermore, students categorized as isolated or exhibiting studyholism without study engagement had higher levels of academic burnout, while those with studyholism combined with study engagement scored higher in perfectionism, indicating diagnostic validity. Overall, the Persian version of the Studyholism Inventory (SI-10) demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and is suitable for use among Iranian university students
