Abstract
Research has shown a relationship between procrastination and perfectionism, i.e. perfectionists generally tend to procrastinate. Therefore, the present study evaluated negative and positive perfectionism as predictors of procrastination in female high school students. This correlational study was conducted in 2015-16 academic year. The statistical population comprised all high school sophomores and juniors in Tehran, Iran. The research sample consisted of 300 female students. During the field data collection phase, the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale and Procrastination Scale were completed by the subjects. Perfectionism and its subscales were significantly related with procrastination in female high school students (P <0.001). Based on the calculated regression coefficient (0.001), negative perfectionism was a predictor of procrastination in high school girls. In addition, positive perfectionism had a negative relationship with procrastination. A combination of negative perfectionism, anxiety, and stress can predict procrastination and malfunction in female high school students. Therefore, in order to modify perfectionist behaviors, perfectionist students (especially negative perfectionists) need to be identified and encouraged to participate in psychological training and individual/group counseling programs. Such interventions will not only reduce the students’ anxiety and tendency toward procrastination, but also improve their mental health and academic achievements.

Full textAbstract:
The main trait differing perfectionists from other individuals is high standards, which is the unifying feature in all models. No matter how well the theories and models of perfectionism are developed, there has always been disagreement about the nature of perfectionism – is it 'The Good, the Bad or the Ugly?' The paper aims to review the studies focused on the mechanisms behind perfectionistic representation, its threats to psychological wellbeing, caused by its pathological side, and look into perfectionism as a possible resource for personal growth and achievement. In the first section of the paper, the aetiology of perfectionism is viewed to see if the foundations add to the type of perfectionism formed. In the second section, models of perfectionism are discussed to see their ability to distinguish between adaptive and maladaptive perfections. Finally, in the third section, perfectionism's positive and negative sides are discussed to understand when perfectionism becomes pathological and when it can be viewed as a resource. In the research of perfectionism, the quantitative approach is mostly used. However, the literature review provides the possibility to have an overview of current knowledge on the nature of perfectionism and to identify gaps in the existing research. The results show that although perfectionism may be viewed both as a positive and negative trait, its negative consequences prevail over its possible positive outcomes. Complex research involving several perfectionism measurements is needed to understand the impact of different combinations of perfectionism types on positive and negative outcomes. The findings of the literature review will serve as the theoretical background for studying perfectionism, its pathological traits, and its possible contribution to achievement.

Full textAbstract:
Almost 30 years ago, Hamachek (1978) suggested that 2 forms of perfectionism be distinguished, a positive form labeled “normal perfectionism” and a negative form labeled “neurotic perfectionism.” Focusing on the positive, we present an overview of the different empirical conceptions of the 2 forms of perfectionism and a common framework for the 2 basic approaches: the dimensional approach differentiating 2 dimensions of perfectionism (perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns) and the group-based approach differentiating 2 groups of perfectionists (healthy perfectionists and unhealthy perfectionists). Moreover, we review the evidence demonstrating that (a) perfectionistic strivings are associated with positive characteristics and (b) healthy perfectionists show higher levels of positive characteristics compared to unhealthy perfectionists and nonperfectionists. Although questions on core facets, positive effects, and developmental antecedents of positive forms of perfectionism remain, our findings suggest that self-oriented perfectionistic strivings are positive, if perfectionists are not overly concerned about mistakes and negative evaluations by others.

Full textAbstract:
Perfectionism is having both negative and positive aspects. Perfectionism extracts a great toll from early adolescents who think that only through perfection they will be able to gain the fulfilment, success, love, and acceptance of others. Usually, the opposite occurs. Perfectionists may accomplish something but, invariably, their methods will deny them the precise love and acceptance they badly wish to acquire, which leaves them feeling dissatisfied. This article reports on the construction and validation of LiWi’s Scale on Perfectionism of early adolescents through a survey from 90 early adolescents. The Cronbach’s α-value for the selected 32 items were found as 0.790 and this value reflects a good degree of reliability. This scale helps to measure the perfectionist behaviour of an individual and to develop positive perfectionist behaviour among them.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the relationship between the traits of a perfectionist personality and burnout. Perfectionists constantly set extremely high standards and make great efforts to achieve. In this regard, it can be stated that perfectionism is a concept that is closely related to burnout. The sample consisted of 158 employees working in a marble enterprise operating in the province of Burdur. As a result of the research, all hypotheses were supported. A statistically positive and significant relationship between the variables in the model was found. In other words, a significant and positive relationship was found between self-oriented perfectionism and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, which are the sub-scales of burnout.

Self esteem is an individual’s assessment of his/her own abilities and evaluates himself/herself whether aperson is positive or negative, valuable or worthless. Perfectionism is someone who has too high a standard and overly worried about himself/herself being perfect and fear of failure will experience. Perfectionist feels him/her self esteem depends on the performance and results achieved. This paper aim to findout the relationship between perfectionism and self esteem in emerging adulthood students. This research is a correlational study using quantitative method of distuting quesionnaires to emerging adulthood in Jakarta area. Perfectionism questionnaire refers to Frost, Marten, Lahart, and Rosenberg, while self esteem questionnaire refers to Rosenberg. The research is using convenience sampling technique involving 429 students. The result of the study shows that adaptive perfectionism has a significant negative relationship with self esteem with r = -0.301, p = 0.000 < 0.05; maladaptive perfectionism has a significant negative relationship with self esteem with r = -0.191, p = 0.036 < 0.05; and non perfectionism has significant negative relationship with self esteem r = 0.424, p = 0.000 < 0.05. So, that the higher types of perfectionism (adaptive, maladaptive, non perfectionism), the lower student’s self esteem. This study also shows that adaptive perfectionists’GPA scores were higher than maladaptive perfectionists.

The present study examines the relationships between procrastination, perfectionism, and locus-of-control (LOC) in an academic setting. Empirical data are drawn from self-report questionnaires completed by 95 randomly sampled students in institutions of higher education in Israel. We differentiate between subjects displaying adaptive and non-adaptive perfectionism and those who are not perfectionists. Similarly, we differentiate between internal and external LOC. The impact of each variable on procrastination is assessed independently, as is the combined effect of perfectionism and LOC. Findings partially uphold the study hypotheses. A significant positive correlation is found between adaptive perfectionism and internal LOC. The degree of procrastination exhibited by non-adaptive perfectionists is higher than that of non-perfectionists. Subjects displaying adaptive perfectionism and internal LOC have lower degrees of academic procrastination than those with non-adaptive perfectionism and external LOC. Findings are discussed in the context of the complexity of the variables and research limitations.

Introduction The concept of beauty has transformed through time and across the globe during specific events in history and continues to evolve. Objectives This study will focus on how tendency toward perfectionism and stereotypes promoted by media influence beauty perception and the need of plastic surgery. Methods In this study we examined factors influencing attitudes toward plastic surgery among 23 women with an average 35 years old and the data were collected through three questionnaire: The abbreviated multidimensional perfectionism scale (MPS) is a 30-item measure separated into two 15-item subscales: self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism; The abbreviated perfectionistic self-presentation scale (PSPS) is a 20-item measure divided into two ten-item subscales: perfectionistic self-promotion and non-display of imperfection. Participants’ perceptions of media messages about appearance issues have been assessed using 30 items of the Sociocultural Attitudes toward Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3). Sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, physical appearance perfectionism were considered as predictors of tendency toward plastic surgery. Results The results showed that there is significant positive association between perfectionism, the influence of mass media and increased women’ s likelihood of undergoing plastic surgery. Conclusions Our findings suggest firstly that a greater perfectionist tendency and psychological investment in physical appearance predict more favorable attitudes toward plastic surgery. Perfectionists women may choose plastic surgery as part of their need of bodily perfection. Secondly, the choice of plastic surgery depended on sociocultural attitudes toward physical appearance. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The term perfectionism is often characterized by insisting that everything should be perfect and flawless, believing in only one truth, and having difficulty transforming perspectives and thoughts. Although perfectionism is not a newly introduced concept in the literature, it has recently become one frequently aired both in research and daily life. The popularity of the concept in empirical studies stems from both its dual nature and its alleged roles in the origin, emergence, retention, and treatment of various psychological disorders. Indeed, despite the abundance of evidence that perfectionism is multifaceted within two major dimensions (perfectionist strivings and perfectionist concerns), it is still debated that the dimensions in different numbers better represent the construct. In addition, the relevant literature hosts diverse views and criticisms about which sub-dimensions the two higher-order dimensions will consist of, whether the conceptual content of a combination of these sub-dimensions is positive or negative, and how to calculate the total impact of the sub-dimensions. On the other hand, previous research consistently addressed the relationship of perfectionism with different psychopathologies and comorbidities. In this respect, it is also deemed important to discuss perfectionism in psychotherapy because even settling perfectionist traits may bring about improvements in more than one disorder associated with perfectionism. Thus, the Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBT) conceptualized perfectionism (clinical perfectionism) and presented techniques for therapy. Moreover, the evidence is also proliferating for the efficiency of CBT for perfectionism. Therefore, in this article, the current literature on the structure, transdiagnostic nature and cognitive behavioral therapy of perfectionism has been reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to define the meaning of perfectionism as a personal quality in online recruitment, from employers’ standpoint. Job offers were searched on hh.ru with the help of the keyword ‘perfectionism’ and served as material for the research. The main areas of professional activity appeared to be information technologies, marketing and management in thoseт areas. The findings show that perfectionism is viewed by employers through the angle of professional motivation as a positive and wanted social quality in job seekers, which is placed in “Requirements” in the majority of job offers. Perfectionismт is viewed by employers as an idealistic image of a worker and is referred to three fields: professional activities, personality and communication. Analysis of associated personal qualitiesт gives evidence of immediate semantic perfectionist correlates: ambitiousness, professionalism, scrupulousness and analytical thinking. In a wider meaning, perfectionism is considered as a social and personal characteristic of an employee, both efficient and initiative, wearing a dress code specified by internal corporate rules, open-minded, internally motivated and capable of fulfilling duties within the established deadline, ready to suggest effective approaches to organizing business processes and to work overtime, completing extensive assignments, to work more than is mentioned in work duties; perfectionism characterizes a loyal employee willing to participate at full capacity in developing the organization, to efficiently interact with internal and external communicants and to actively contribute to organization performance and competitiveness.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examined the content of self-related beliefs (i.e., the self-concept) and the level of certainty associated with these beliefs (i.e., self-concept certainty) across adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism. A sample of 103 university students (26 adaptive perfectionists, 28 maladaptive perfectionists, and 49 non-perfectionists) completed a series of questionnaires and a reaction-timed computer task assessing their self-concept content and level of self-concept certainty. Results revealed significant differences in the content of self-beliefs about personality attributes between perfectionist groups, such that those classified as adaptive perfectionists held more positive beliefs and less negative-related beliefs about their personality attributes when compared to maladaptive perfectionists. Results regarding self-concept certainty were less clear, with adaptive perfectionists being most certain in general on self-report measures, but more certain for positive personality attributes only when compared to maladaptive perfectionists on a reaction-timed decision-making task. Findings from the present study are discussed in terms of the way that self-concept certainty may differ across adaptive and maladaptive subtypes of perfectionists.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to categorize perfectionism and determine how perfectionism impacts the occupations and perceived health of students in a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Science program. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive study with a survey component was conducted. Participants were categorized as perfectionists or non-perfectionists using the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R). Time logs were collected to compare categories of time-use between groups over a one-week period. An online survey was conducted with a sub-sample of the perfectionists. Findings More students were categorized as perfectionists (N = 41) than non-perfectionists (N = 3). Both groups spent similar amounts of time engaged in productive, pleasurable and restorative occupations. Some perfectionists reported that perfectionism supported health, but others reported negative impacts on well-being. Research limitations/implications This study included a small sample size limited to one Occupational Science program in the USA. Originality/value Results demonstrated positive and negative health impacts because of perfectionism. The majority of participants were identified as perfectionists; rigorous academic programs may attract students with perfectionistic qualities. Findings are relevant for Occupational Therapy, as these students will become future occupational therapists after completing a Master’s program in Occupational Therapy and may be susceptible to negative outcomes associated with perfectionism such as workaholism and poor health.

Literature suggests that perfectionism is associated to self-compassion. However, the multiple relationships between the types of perfectionism (adaptive, maladaptive and non-perfectionists) and the multidimensional construct of self-compassion have not been thoroughly examined. To this end, the present study aimed (a) to examine the relationships between the types of perfectionism and the self-compassion components in an adult sample and (b) to check the effect of age on the relationship between the perfectionistic types and the self-compassion components. Participants were 509 adults aged 18 to 65 years. Self-report questionnaires were used to collect the data. Results indicated that High Standards positively predicted all self-compassion components while Discrepancy positively predicted Self-judgment and Isolation and overidentification and negatively predicted Self-Kindness and mindfulness and Common humanity. In addition, it was found that adaptive perfectionists and non-perfectionists reported higher levels on the positive components of self-compassion and lower levels on its negative components, compared to maladaptive perfectionists. With respect to age, participants in established (30–45 years) and middle (46–65 years) adulthood reported higher levels on the positive self-compassion components and lower levels on its negative components compared to young adults (18–29 years), while participants in emerging adulthood scored higher on both the dimensions of perfectionism (adaptive and maladaptive) compared to participants in established and middle adulthood. Finally, age moderated only the relationship between adaptive perfectionism and Isolation and overidentification. Future directions and implications are being discussed.

We examined the role of perceived social support in the relationship between perfectionism and depression/anxiety. Partial correlation and hierarchical regression were conducted using cross-sectional data from 426 college students. They completed questionnaires including positive and negative perfectionism scales, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Results showed that depression/anxiety were significantly correlated with perceived social support and perfectionism. Perceived social support significantly moderated the influence of perfectionism upon depression/anxiety. These findings indicate that perceived social support may have a protective effect in preventing perfectionists from experiencing depression and anxiety.

The aim of the study was to understand the components associated with the types of perfectionism described as adaptive/healthy, maladaptive/unhealthy or non-perfectionism, which could offer positive or negative aspects to improve excellence and well-being, exploring the number and content of the latent perfectionism structure as a multidimensional construct in a sample of High Intellectual Abilities (HIA) students. Links with Positive and Negative perfectionism were also compared across perfectionism latent profiles. A total of n=137 HIA students, mean age 13.77 years (SD=1.99), participated in a survey. The Almost Perfect Scale Revised (APS-R) and Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale-12 (PNPS-12) were used. Results obtained showed three latent classes (LC): ‘Unhealthy’ (LC1), ‘Healthy’ (LC2) and ‘No perfectionism’ (LC3). LC1 showed high scores on Discrepancy subscales but low in Order and High Standards. LC2 displayed higher scores on High Standards and Order. LC3 displayed low scores across all perfectionism facets. Statistically significant differences were found across latent profiles in almost all perfectionism features. Different patterns of associations with Positive and Negative perfectionism were obtained across latent profiles. These findings address the latent structure of perfectionisms in HIA students and allow us to delimit, analyze, and understand the tentative latent profiles within the HIA arena. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender los componentes asociados a distintos tipos de perfeccionismo descrito como: adaptativo/sano, mal adaptativo/insano o no perfeccionismo que pueden tener efectos positivos o negativos para el logro de la excelencia. Se exploró el número y contenido de las estructuras latentes del perfeccionismo como constructo multidimensional en una muestra de n=137 estudiantes con Altas Capacidades Intelectuales (ACI) con una media de edad de 13,77 años (DT=1,99). La conexión con el perfeccionismo positivo y negativo se analizó sobre la base de los diferentes perfiles de perfeccionismo. Se utilizaron las escalas «Almost Perfect Scale Revised» (APS-R) y la «Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale-12». Los resultados mostraron tres clases latentes de perfeccionismo: «No Sano» (CL1), «Sano» (CL2) y «No Perfeccionista» (CL3). La CL1 mostró puntuaciones más altas en las subescalas de Discrepancia y bajas en Orden y Altos Estándares. La CL2 reveló puntuaciones altas en Altos Estándares y Orden. La CL3 mostró bajas puntuaciones en todos los dominios de perfeccionismo. Las diferencias fueron estadísticamente significativas entre las clases latentes en los dominios del perfeccionismo. Asimismo, se encontraron diferentes patrones de asociaciones de las clases latentes con el perfeccionismo Positivo y Negativo. Los resultados encontrados permiten atender a las estructuras latentes de perfeccionismo en estudiantes con ACI, que posibilitan delimitar, analizar y entender posibles perfiles latentes.

IntroductionPerfectionism is a consistent risk factor for various psychopathological conditions, including psychological distress and eating disorders. Recently, we have shown, for the first time, that there is a relationship between perfectionism and generalized problematic internet use/GPIU (Sobral et al. 2020). Specifically, we found that the role of perfectionism in psychological disorder is partially mediated by GPIU. On the other hand, it has been suggested that the widespread use of digital media can lead to negative body image perception and abnormal eating attitudes and behaviors.ObjectivesTo explore, for the first time, the relationship between perfectionism, GPIU and disordered eating behavior.Methods475 university students (78.9% girls; mean age 20.22±1.695) answered the Portuguese validated versions of: Composite Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, GPIU Scale and Eating Attitudes Test-25. SPSS and Hayes’ Process Macro (2020) were used.ResultsBulimic Behaviours/BB significantly and moderately correlated with Perfectionist efforts (r=.263), Perfectionist concerns (r=.284) and GPIU (r=.25) (all p<.001). The mediation analyses revealed that GPIU is a partial mediator of the relationship between both perfectionism dimensions and BB.ConclusionsThe evidence that both negative and “positive” perfectionism dimensions are associated to eating pathology is in line with our previous research. The present study adds, for the first time, that one of the perfectionism pathways of influence on BB operates through UGPI. Assessment and intervention to diminish eating psychopathology should focus on perfectionism and compulsive traits which could be involved in both ED and GPIU and in their comorbidity.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Perfectionism is a transdiagnostic risk factor for mental health and interpersonal difficulties, but research on perfectionism and alcohol use in emerging adults remains equivocal. Qualitative research methods are underutilized in this area, and inductive analysis of drinking narratives in undergraduate perfectionists may help clarify conflicting results and support novel approaches to quantitative inquiry in this area. We interviewed 20 undergraduates high in perfectionism (6 adaptive perfectionists and 14 maladaptive perfectionists) using a narrative interview, with analyses focusing on a situation involving alcohol use. We coded interviews for emergent themes using thematic analysis. Five themes emerged as follows: (1) drinking as a social experience, (2) suffering consequences, (3) learning from alcohol, (4) alcohol use as escapism, and (5) reluctance and moderation. Our results add to existing literature by highlighting the interpersonal conflict in perfectionistic people’s experience in relation to alcohol use during emerging adulthood. Results also suggest perfectionistic people may use alcohol and intoxication as a way to facilitate a “release” from unpleasant situations or emotions. Perfectionists reported both positive and negative experiences, which lends support for using a narrative perspective to help overcome preexisting assumptions about adaptive and maladaptive qualities of perfectionism.

Instructors who strive to do their job in the best way can experience loneliness due to this perfectionist personality trait. That's why, in this research, it was aimed to reveal the relationship between the instructors' perfectionism and loneliness levels. 123 volunteer instructors who were selected by random sampling method participated in the research, which was designed in relational screening model. Descriptive and provable statistical techniques were used in the research. As a result of the research, it was found that general perfectionism of the instructors was relatively above average. The instructors' self-oriented perfectionism was at the highest level. The instructors' social emotional loneliness levels were relatively below average. The instructors' perfectionism and loneliness levels did not differ according to demographic variables. Positive, medium and high level relationships were found among the instructors' perfectionism. There was a negative, low level relationship between the instructors' perfectionism other than socially prescribed perfectionism and their social emotional loneliness. It was found that the instructors' other-oriented perfectionism levels significantly predicted their loneliness. The studies that can support the findings obtained can be conducted at different universities.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the research lies in the fact that perfectionism as a psychological construct of a personality is acquiring a status of a social phenomenon influenced by external social and economic factors, such as generational change, difficult economic conditions, reduced resources, increased competition in the labor market. The aim of the research is to consider career progression process security for perfectionist employees. A semantic analysis of the terms “career growth” and “perfectionism” in the context of scientific research was used. The research indicates that employee perfectionism at the workplace characterizes mainly initial career stages and has two development trends: positive and negative. The former appears as increased working ability and labor efficiency, team leadership, and their inspiration for higher productivity. The latter manifests itself as inefficient activity, inability to achieve organizational goals, excessive and unwanted attention to detail, self-criticism, and fault-finding with colleagues. Common perfectionist features are low-stress resilience, communicability, goal rigidness, all-or-nothing approach to reaching goals. In an organizational environment, positive employee perfectionism has a high value since company management draws up ambitious plans for development and profit generation. Matching personal employee interests and organizational goals can bring intended results; however, it requires the creation of certain conditions. The practical relevance of the conducted analysis lies in the fact that perfectionist career trajectory management should be primarily oriented towards correction of their personal construct. Lateral promotion requires training time management skills, goal prioritization, teamwork, nonstandard methods of problem-solving and goal achievement. Vertical advancement implies learning courses on business communication, stress resistance, leadership, and management. Individual career trajectory planning, labor activity monitoring, healthy psychological climate, incentive schemes are necessary conditions for successful perfectionist employee functioning in an organizational environment.

From a larger pool, 36 university students were selected based on their scores on the Standards and Order subscale of the Almost Perfect Scale and on the Penn State Worry Scale. Participants responded to open-ended questions eliciting their definitions of perfectionism and their views on its effects on various domains of their lives. Consistent with early theoretical work (e.g., Hamachek, 1978), the results of the study suggest that identified perfectionists may view their perfectionism as positive or negative. The results also suggest that the constructs of standards and order represent the positive dimension and the construct of worry a negative dimension. Discussed are the results and their implications for mental health counseling and further research.

Perfectionism has been argued to have both positive and negative aspects. Negative perfectionism has a robust positive correlation with psychopathology. This study explored the personality pattern of a group of clinical participants and a group of athletes in relation to positive and negative perfectionism. The results indicated negative perfectionism is related to neuroticism and agreeableness in both clinical and non-clinical groups. Negative perfectionism was most strongly associated with low agreeableness but had no significant relationship with conscientiousness or extraversion in the clinical sample. In the athlete sample, higher negative perfectionism was most strongly related to higher neuroticism but was also associated with lower extraversion and conscientiousness. In order to more fully understand these relationships and their clinical implications, more studies using validated measures of positive and negative perfectionism with larger samples are required. It would be useful to determine if personality factors of agreeableness and competence could be increased in order to ameliorate the distress associated with negative perfectionism.

Аbstract. The current situation of the crisis state of various spheres of life of our compatriots makes such characteristics of a competitive individual as success, mobility, flexibility in decision making more and more popular. Perfectionism, previously studied as a personality trait responsible for the pursuit of excellence, is a state that can determine the course of thoughts and actions of a person, as well as change under the influence of circumstances or over time (since there is always the possibility of transition from one state to another, while that at any moment of being this or that state determines the further destiny of a person). Highlight perfectionist aspirations that are associated with the positive aspects of perfectionism, and perfectionist anxiety associated with maladaptive behavior. It is shown that only perfectionist anxiety has a direct correlation with perception of stress at work, while perfectionist aspirations do not have such a correlation. In adolescence, the pursuit of excellence is especially important, since at this time a hierarchy of values and authenticity (identity) are built, the search for ones place in life starts the activity of creating conditions for the realization of personal potential. Therefore, the main direction of medical and psychological support for young people is the formation of adequate self-esteem and self-reliance, which allows them to know the characteristics of their personality, receive feedback (both from peers and from socially significant individuals),work out their I in simulated conditions, and thereby increase the effectiveness of the psychological correction of non- adaptive forms of perfectionism, because the positive aspects of perfectionist attitudes are a potential development potential for young people one hundred.

Perfectionism amongst young children is a phenomenon that has just recently become a topic for research. In a highly competitive society, orientation towards performance and the attainment of very high standards coincide with the necessity to create a perfect “self” for the child. In this context dominated by the interest to create optimised children, we can talk about the development of a type of behaviour with perfectionist tendencies, whose consequences have started to draw the researchers’ attention during the past decades. Although perfectionism can be both positive and negative, research findings have shown that there are numerous factors that contribute to the development of maladaptive perfectionism in children, even from an early school age. The purpose of this research was to focus on the positive side of this personality trait by measuring the connection between the independent variable of perfectionism and the dependent variable of school performance, by also taking into consideration variables such as the parents’ influence and the competitive spirit in the educational background. To this effect, the instrument we used to measure positive perfectionism was the Questionnaire on Orderliness [Q3 factor: Perfectionism] on a sample of 101 participants, both parents and children, whereas the instrument we used for competitiveness was the Competitiveness Scale Questionnaire [HICs] on a sample of 51 subjects, consisting only of fourth graders. The obtained data were organized in Excel spreadsheets based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, in order to establish the connection between the variables. The main result of this research is that the subjects focus on quantitative results and on developing strategies to get higher grades, rather than on an efficient learning process. This study has opened up numerous research opportunities on the topic of perfectionism in the young schoolchildren.

Full textAbstract:
Systematic practice of physical activity (PA) in childhood and adolescence enables the development of functional resources for subjective perception of well-being, stimulation of cognitive processes, and construction of the personality. The development of perfectionist beliefs is currently seen as a functional characteristic linked to positive aspects (positive affect, self-esteem, etc.), while its dysfunctional aspects have been associated with anxiety and stress. The aim of this study is to identify which indicators of perfectionism provide functional conditions/skills that, in combination with the level of practice of physical activity, facilitate stress regulation. A sample of 365 adolescents (183 girls and 182 boys) aged between 13 and 17 participated. The results show that as the intensity of physical activity increases, there are significant changes in the indicators for functional perfectionism (high personal standards and organisation), with reference to facilitating (at moderate levels) or limiting (if excessive or absent) perceived stress and, above all, increased intensity of physical activity accentuates dysfunctional perfectionism patterns. This research has made it possible to identify active psychological processes that influence functional or dysfunctional psychological responses in adolescents depending on their level of perfectionism and the intensity of practise of PA.

Abstract Objective To explore 1) if perfectionism, perceived distress/coping, and cognitive emotion regulation (CER) are associated with and predictive of negative/positive affect (NA/PA); and 2) if CER and perceived distress/coping are associated with perfectionism and if they mediate the perfectionism-NA/PA associations. There is a distinction between maladaptive and adaptive perfectionism in its association with NA/PA. CER and perceived distress/coping may mediate the maladaptive/adaptive perfectionism and NA/PA associations. Methods 344 students (68.4% girls) completed the Hewitt & Flett and the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scales, the Composite Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Profile of Mood States, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Results NA predictors were maladaptive/adaptive perfectionism, maladaptive CER and perceived distress (positively), positive reappraisal and planning, and perceived coping (negatively). PA predictors were maladaptive/adaptive perfectionism and perceived distress (negatively), positive reappraisal and planning, positive refocusing and perceived coping (positively). The association between maladaptive perfectionism and NA was mediated by maladaptive CER/low adaptive CER, perceived distress/low coping. Maladaptive perfectionism and low PA association was mediated by perceived distress. High PA was determined by low maladaptive perfectionism and this association was mediated by adaptive REC and coping. Adaptive perfectionism and NA association was mediated by maladaptive CER and perceived distress. Conclusion CER and perceived distress/coping are associated and mediate the perfectionism-NA/PA associations.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluated the viability of using a self-report instrument to assess separately the positive form and negative form of perfectionism among 317 Chinese gifted students in Hong Kong. These students tended to endorse positive perfectionism more than negative perfectionism. Positive and negative perfectionism were also found to relate differentially to life satisfaction and positive affect, as well as negative affect—the three components of subjective well-being. Although positive and negative perfectionism could be inferred to impact directly on subjective well-being, the mediating role of general self-efficacy in the relationships between perfectionism and subjective well-being was also suggested. Implications of the findings for future research on perfectionism scale development and on the complex relationships among positive and negative perfectionism, general self-efficacy, and the three components of subjective well-being are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Empathy is a cognitive attribute that forms the cornerstone for good doctor–patient encounters. The formative period for the development of empathy toward patients begins with clinical encounters within medical school. An individual medical student's empathy levels may in part be a product of their resilience and perfectionist attitudes. A cross-sectional study with 320 medical students across all years of study was conducted to determine the correlation of perfectionism and resilience with clinical empathy in medical students. The JSE-S, CD-RISC 10, and APS-R scales were used to assess levels of empathy, resilience, and perfectionism, respectively. The study found that a positive correlation exists between resilience ( r = 0.174) and academic year with empathy, and a negative correlation exists between maladaptive perfectionism and empathy ( r = −0.138). The resilience score declined progressively as the year of study progressed with a statistically significant. Mean empathy scores were lowest in fifth-year students (96.8 ± 12.5) and highest in third-year students (107.8 ± 13.2). Further longitudinal studies are necessary to better understand the impact of resilience and perfectionism on empathy.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The article deals with the nature of perfectionism, the content of which reflects both its positive and negative consequences. The advantages of perfectionism involve the students' efforts to perfection, self-organisation, and adaptive behaviour. The risks of perfectionism include deep-seated feelings of a person oriented to social approval, conformity to exaggerated standards, avoidance of failures, and overrated level of demands to oneself. This determines negative emotional feelings, anxiety, and stressful states. The aim of the research is to determine the features of perfectionism of cadets with high and low levels of perfectionism and to analyse the risks of its high indicators.
The research is based on a sample of 73 people. They were divided into two groups according to the values of perfectionism: with high (n=34) and low (n=39) level.
Research methods. The research involved general scientific research methods aimed at data collection, analysis, systematisation and generalisation, as well as empirical methods (testing, interviews). The research was carried out with the help of psychodiagnostic methods: perfectionism questionnaire (N. G. Garanyan, A. B. Kholmogorova), method of diagnosing the level of emotional burnout (V. V. Boyko).
Results. The results of the empirical study on the methods used are described and analysed. The results of the study showed reliable differences between the groups with high and low levels of perfectionism, reflecting the presence of significant emotional problems. In the group with a high level of perfectionism the factors of socially oriented type of perfectionist expectations, orientation to exaggerated standards of activity according to the principle "to be the most successful", fixation on failures and mistakes, categorical and polarised thinking were revealed. This type of perfectionism is destructive and its consequences, identified in the research, are reflected in the form of negative emotional experiences, reduction of subjects' professional responsibilities, development of emotional burnout and mental exhaustion.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to confirm the dual mediating effects of generalized anxiety and faculty conflict on the impact of maladaptive perfectionism on graduate students' career anxiety.
Methods For this study, data were collected from 354 graduate students in Seoul, Korea, and SPSS Statistics 26.0 program and SPSS PROCESS (v.4.3) macro were used to conduct correlation analysis to analyze the relationship between key variables and the dual mediating effects of generalized anxiety and faculty conflict on maladaptive perfectionism and career anxiety.
Results First, graduate students' maladaptive perfectionism, generalized anxiety, and conflict experience with a professor showed a positive correlation with career anxiety. Second, in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and career anxiety, generalized anxiety showed a simple mediating effect. Third, generalized anxiety and conflict experience with a professor sequentially double mediated the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and career anxiety.
Conclusions The findings are significant in that they provide implications for counseling interventions in the process of maladaptive perfectionism's transition to career anxiety in graduate student research. Finally, the current study's implications for future graduate student research are discussed, along with limitations and implications for clinical practice.

Full textAbstract:
Career stress is one of the current issues that university students have to deal with. Although there are many reasons, it is stated that perfectionism can be one of the main reasons for the formation of stress. On the other hand, it is supported by the literature that the perception of social support can be a source that can reduce this effect. For such reasons, this study aims to examine the mediating role of perceived social support in the relationship between university students' perfectionism and career stress. A total of 433 university students, 311 (71.8%) female and 122 (28.2%) male, participated in the sample of this study. The measurement tools used to collect data in the study are the ‘Big Three Perfectionism Scale-16'', 'Career Stress Scale' and 'Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support'. The research findings explain that the perfectionist personality traits of the students have a positive and significant effect on career stress. It is also explained that perceived multidimensional social support has a partial mediating role between perfectionism and career stress. The findings of the research were discussed in relation to the literature.

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale. Two samples of 97 (56 women, 41 men) and 115 (67 women, 48 men) undergraduate students at the University of Tehran participated. Findings supported the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and factor structure of the Farsi version. Factor analysis provided evidence for two dimensions of perfectionism, Positive and Negative perfectionism. The two dimensions had significant negative and positive correlations, respectively, with measures of psychological distress and health, respectively. The Farsi version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale presented good psychometric properties for use in research.

The participants in this study were 179 undergraduate students completing a thesis. The hypotheses proposed that 1) there is a positive relationship between Self-Oriented Perfectionism (SOP) and stress of completing a thesis, 2) there is a positive relationship between Other-oriented Perfectionism (OOP) and stress of completing a thesis, 3) there is a positive relationship between Socially-prescribed Perfectionism (SPP) and stress of completing a thesis, and 4) there is a relationship between perfectionism and stress of completing a thesis. This study used quantitative methods. The data were collected using Skala Stress Mengerjakan Skripsi (α = 0,926) and a scale modified from Hewitt and Flett (1991)’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (αstrat= 0.888). This study used nonparametric analysis Spearman's Rho to analyze hypothesis 1), and parametric analysis Pearson's Product Moment to analyze hypothesis 2), 3), 4). The results showed that 1) there was no relationship between self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) and stress of completing a thesis (rs = 0.094; p = 0.106 0.05), 2) there was a positive relationship between other-oriented perfectionism (OOP) and stress of completing a thesis (r = 0.247; p = 0.000 0.05), 3) there was positive relationship between socially-prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and stress of completing a thesis (r = 0.408; p = 0.000 0.05), and 4) there was the relationship between perfectionism and the stress of completing a thesis (r = 0.329; p = 0.000).

This study examines the impact of college students' multidimensional perfectionism on their career decision level through career preparation behavior. In particular, the purpose of this study was to identify the functions of college students' perfectionism tendencies, such as self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially imposed perfectionism, to determine what effect they have on career preparation behavior and career decision level. Based on previous research, career preparation behavior was selected as a mediating factor that affects the relationship between college students' multidimensional perfectionism tendency and career decision level to verify the research problem. The subjects of the study were 433 college students, and data were collected through an online survey. Basic analysis was performed using SPSS to confirm the relationship between variables, and mediation effects were verified using Process macro. Looking at the analysis results, first, based on the impact of multidimensional perfectionism on career preparation behavior, we confirmed that socially imposed perfectionism had a positive influence on male students, and self-oriented perfectionism had a positive effect on female students. When looking at the influence of multidimensional perfectionism on the level of career decision-making, we can see that self-oriented perfectionism had a positive influence and socially imposed perfectionism had a negative influence for both male and female students. Second, looking at the mediating effect of career preparation behavior between college students' multidimensional perfectionism tendency and career decision level, we confirmed that self-oriented perfectionism had a negative mediating effect only for male students, and other-oriented perfectionism was found to have a negative mediating effect only for male students as well. Also, this study confirmed that socially imposed perfectionism was effective, but that it had a positive mediating effect only for female students. Based on the results of this study, which showed that the multidimensional perfectionism tendencies (self-orientation, other-orientation, and social imposition) according to gender of college students have different effects on the level of career decision-making through career preparation behavior, implications and suggestions for follow-up research were discussed.

The phenomenology of positive psychology is associated, first of all, with the assessment of the positive significance of mental phenomena, processes, states and properties of an individual, a qualitative analysis of which makes it possible to determine the degree of realisation of personal capabilities in various spheres of life, contributing to the maintenance and improvement of significant resources of ones own self. In this regard, of particular interest is the development of the topic of the relationship between perfectionism and forms of social activity of an individual, since the case in hand is the role of individuals and their subjective properties as a resource of not only personal, but also social, capital. The purpose of the study presented in the article is to conduct an empirical study regarding the relationship between perfectionism and various forms of personal social activity. The study involved representatives of student youth aged between 16 and 19 years ( N = 236): high school students ( n = 118) and university students ( n = 118) in Saratov and the Saratov region (Russia). The methodological tools included: a questionnaire aimed at registering various forms of social activity and their manifestations (R.M. Shamionov, I.V. Arendachuk, E.E. Bocharova and others) and The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (P.L. Hewitt, G.L. Flett, adapted by I.I. Gracheva) to study the relationships between the manifestations of the parameters of perfectionism. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption of the presence of multidirectional relationships between the manifestations of the parameters of perfectionism and self-assessments of various forms of social activity. As a result of the study, the authors established the dominant manifestation of the internal locus of perfectionism and identified the presence of multidirectional relationships between perfectionism and forms of social activity of the students, which made it possible to clarify the specifics of its functional manifestation in the deployment (or limitation) of social activities. It was shown that when the internal locus of perfectionism was fixed, the social and economic activities of the students were deployed, while the educational, spiritual, protest and subcultural activities were limited. However, when the external locus of perfectionism was fixed, the young people initiated subcultural activities against the background of limited educational and developmental activities. In sum, findings from this research can be implemented in the practice of advisory services in educational institutions, and in the organization of socially useful activities for young people, by taking into account their perfectionist orientation.

Full textAbstract:
Perfectionism is a personality disposition usually defined considering the demands toward performance outcomes. Maladaptive perfectionists have more concerns over getting adverse performance outcomes than adaptive perfectionists. As an indicator of impulsivity, individuals' reaction time is significantly shorter after getting negative performance feedback than positive feedback. We conducted the present study to investigate the differences among perfectionists concerning the task-based impulsivity measures after getting negative and positive performance outcomes in a gambling task. A sample of 60 adults (22 adaptive, 20 maladaptive, and 18 non-perfectionists) performed a monetary gambling task while receiving positive or negative feedback. The findings revealed that maladaptive perfectionists had more impulsive responses than the other groups regardless of the feedback. The adaptive perfectionists spent more time choosing answers after each kind of feedbacks to make accurate decisions. The reinforcement sensitivity probably addresses the between-group differences of perfectionists in impulsivity. The findings of this study will help clarify the complex process of learning.

BACKGROUND: Empathy is considered a key element in doctor-patient relationship that may positively influence communication and outcomes. However, the correlation of empathy with perfectionism, which prevalence and rates among students are increasing, remains understudied.
AIM: The aim is to study the associations between perfectionism and empathy in psychiatry and neurology residents.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Psychiatry and neurology residents (n = 100) aged 22–29 filled out the following validated instruments: “Three-Factor Perfectionism Inventory” (N.G. Garanyan, et al.) and “The Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI)” (M. Davis). The sample was divided into three groups with high (n = 37), medium (n = 33) and low (n = 30) levels of perfectionism.
RESULTS: Residents with high level of perfectionism have higher level of personal distress (p 0.01). In this group were also observed significant positive associations between general level of perfectionism and empathic concern (p 0.05); socially prescribed perfectionism and personal distress (p 0.05), fantasy (p 0.05), empathic concern (p 0.05); perfectionistic cognitive style and personal distress (p 0.01). In residents with medium level of perfectionism a positive correlation exists between self-oriented perfectionism and perspective taking (p 0.05). In residents with low level of perfectionism perspective taking negatively correlated with general level of perfectionism (p 0.01) and self-oriented perfectionism (p 0.05); a positive correlation exists between socially prescribed perfectionism and personal distress (p 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings allow to identify socially prescribed perfectionism and perfectionistic cognitive style, that associated with personal distress, as targets of psychological correction.

This study examines the relationship between gifted students' perfectionism and life satisfaction. It also aims to understand how perfectionism and life satisfaction differ according to variables such as gender, parental education level, number of siblings, and grade level for gifted students. The relational survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the study consists of 395 gifted 5th–8th grade students. The Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale were used to collect data within the scope of this research. Some findings show that life satisfaction and positive perfectionism were high and negative perfectionism low among gifted secondary school students. When their positive perfectionism increases, their life satisfaction increases, and when their positive perfectionism decreases, their life satisfaction decreases. The life satisfaction of gifted students does not differ according to their gender, and negative perfectionism was significantly higher in girls. The life satisfaction of the gifted student who was the only child in the family was higher than that of the gifted student who had two or more siblings. The life satisfaction of the gifted student whose mother had a master's degree or above was higher than that of others. As gifted students move from 5th to 8th grade, their life satisfaction decreases and their negative perfectionism increases.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated reliability and factor validity of a Farsi version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale in 606 undergraduate students (257 men, 349 women) from the University of Tehran. All participants were asked to complete the scale, along with the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1972) and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (Coopersmith, 1967). Findings indicated good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the two-factor structure of the Farsi version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale. These factors were similar to the factors found in previous studies and were accordingly labeled Positive Perfectionism and Negative Perfectionism. The results provide evidence for applicability of the scale and its cross-cultural validity.

Full textAbstract:
Research into personal qualities of employees is acquiring relevance in the modern society as physical and material means and instruments of production are gradually being excluded from immediate interaction with people; their place is being taken by robotic technologies; whereas human labour is turning into intellectual creativity. Perfectionism is one of personal construct characteristics, which allows them to achieve high goals, overcoming different obstacles. The aim of the work was to consider the involvement of employees, characterized by perfectionistic personal construct, in social and labour relations under the authoritarian, democratic and liberal management styles. Perfectionists known for their struggle for high achievements are inclined to work individually and characterized by a low level of socialization. Under the authoritarian style, managers usually diminish individual achievements, focusing on the importance of goals and objectives rather than personality types of employees; therefore, perfectionists risk turning into reserved unsocial individuals. The democratic and liberal personnel management styles give the possibility to integrate perfectionists in teamwork, to activate their positive personal qualities and, in this way, enable them to meaningfully socialize. The democratic and liberal management styles provide conditions for successful combination of personal perfectionist interests and socially relevant objectives. In the age of information-oriented society, targeted at intensive intellectual development, contribution of perfectionists is indispensable; however, it is necessary to facilitate their social integration underlying inseparability of their individual goals and socially significant objectives.

Although many studies have investigated the relationship between perfectionism and anxiety among the adults, little is known about the manifestations of the effects of parent perfectionism on anxiety of children in Iran. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between positive and negative perfectionism of mothers whit anxiety of their children in an Iranian sample. Besides the study of effects of mother's perfectionism and how can make serious problems for their children is another aim of this research. The study was consisted of 150 women of Refah Bank employees and their 8–15 years old children, which were selected by a multi-stage random cluster sampling. In order to evaluation, the positive and negative perfectionism scale and the revised children's manifest anxiety were assessed. After data collection, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression, using SPSS were conducted. Results showed that positive perfectionism of mothers was not correlated significantly with their child's anxiety. However, mothers’ negative perfectionism was associated positively with children anxiety which was significant at 0.01 probability level. Analysis of stepwise regression showed that mothers’ perfectionism predicted anxiety of their child. It can be concluded that negative perfectionism of mothers can directly and indirectly have negative effects on children and provide serious problems for them. Our findings indicate that although we must take care of unhealthy and neurotic consequences of negative perfectionism but positive striving for perfection can help us to improve in some aspects.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Attachment and perfectionism are two important psychological factors that can significantly influence individual satisfaction in various aspects of life, including relationships, work, and personal achievement. This essay reviews four studies that explore the connection between perfectionism—whether it's positive or negative—and attachment type and their impact on life satisfaction or marital satisfaction. Results indicate that securely attached individuals tend to exhibit higher positive perfectionism and lower negative perfectionism, leading to greater life satisfaction. In contrast, people with insecure attachment tend to exhibit higher levels of negative perfectionism, thereby reducing their life satisfaction. Maladaptive forms of perfectionism are linked to insecure attachment styles, leading to lower levels of marital satisfaction. These findings have practical implications for counselling and interventions aimed at promoting positive mental health and improving relationship satisfaction. However, these studies have limitations that need to be considered, including the use of self-reports, limited generalizability of results, and lack of evidence of a causal relationship between attachment, perfectionism, and satisfaction. Future research could address these limitations and advance our understanding of the complex interactions between the three concepts.

Background: Perfectionism has positive and negative aspects that can have different consequences for students' personal and academic background. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the Perfectionism score and the role of demographic factors in general medicine interns. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the statistical population of general medicine interns of Guilan University of Medical Sciences in 2020. 200 of them participated in this study using the convenience sampling method and they answered the demographic questionnaire and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale; FMPS. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used using SPSS-19 software. Results: The participation rate was 84.5% (169 people). The negative and positive perfectionism scores were (62.4±12.2) and (45.1±5.5). Students under the age of 25 had higher scores on the of concern over mistakes subscale (P=0.002). Male students had higher scores in the parental expectations (P=0.002) and personal standards (P=0.044). Married students scored higher in the parental expectations (P=0.031) and parental criticism (P=0.002) and lower scores in personal standards (P=0.002). Students with a history of physical illness had higher scores on the personal standards (P=0.006) and lower scores on the organization (P=0.045). In married students, more negative perfectionism (P=0.018) and less positive perfectionism (P=0.018) were reported. Conclusion: The results showed that the score of negative perfectionism is in the middle level and positive perfectionism is in the severe level and demographic factors such as young age, gender and marital status were effective on the components of perfectionism.

IntroductionThe relationship between narcissism and burnout has been explored in the literature with somewhat inconsistent findings. Though most studies have found a positive correlation between Narcissism and Burnout, some have failed to establish a significant link between the two, while others have even reported a protective role of narcissism against burnout.In our previous work regarding the link between perfectionism and student burnout, we found that when using the Big Three model of Perfectionism, Narcissistic Perfectionism had only a weak connection to burnout, requiring full mediation by low-self compassion.We hypothesized that this might be due to an exaggerated sense of Academic Efficacy in Narcissistic Perfectionists, which would compensate for some of the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization brought upon by their efforts to gain the admiration of others.ObjectivesTo investigate the link between Narcissistic Perfectionism and Academic Efficacy, and its impact on burnout levels.MethodsA sample of 1080 students from healthcare-related courses (80,7% females; mean age=21.13±3.023; range: 17-41) filled in an online questionnaire including, among others, the Portuguese Version of BIG3-SF and MBI-SS. Correlational analysis was performed.ResultsContrary to our initial theory, Narcissistic Perfectionism did not significantly correlate with Academic Efficacy (r=0.011, p=0.728), although it had significant correlations with the other burnout dimensions and total burnout score.ConclusionsThis work disproved our initial hypothesis, suggesting that narcissistic perfectionism may be associated with other nefarious dimensions that cancel out the effects of grandiosity and inflated self-esteem on the perception of academic efficacy. This negative finding could possibly be further explored by using a psychometric instrument that differentiates between maladaptive and adaptive facets of narcissism.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Our objective was to revise the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (PANPS) and then to test the reliability and validity of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale-Chinese Revised (PANPS-CR). University students (N = 378) completed the PANPS, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale. Two student samples (N = 519 and 458) completed the PANPS-CR. Results of Pearson's correlation coefficients, independent samples t tests, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the PANPS-CR is a reliable and valid instrument to assess positive and negative aspects of perfectionism among Chinese college students.
