The Positive and Detrimental Effects of Perfectionism

Perfectionists I have never let a girl cut architectural paper three times to confirm that it is a straight line. I saw measurement data of Engineering class. If my handwriting can not be read, I will be more careful if I can not read it myself. Because of these things, I did not regard myself as a perfectionist. However, when I started making a morning routine, I created a list of things every week, and if there is a possibility that I will be late for the event by chance, it may be a panic attack. I expect it.

According to J. Stoeber and K. Otto, perfectionism consists of two main aspects: perfection struggle and perfection concern. The fight against perfectionism is related to the good aspects of perfectionism, and the fear of perfectionism is associated with the bad side (see below). A sound perfectionist gains a high score in the fight against perfectionism and takes a low score if he gains the attention of perfectionism. Unhealthy perfectionists get high scores with diligence and attention. The incompleteists show a low level of perfectionism. Early studies provided empirical evidence that perfectionism may be related to positive aspects (especially perfectionist struggles). And it challenged the general belief that perfectionism is only harmful. Indeed, people with a high level of perfectionism and low perfectionist attention are more indicative of self-esteem, happiness, academic success and social interaction.

Perfectionism is often defined as what is needed or perceived as perfect, and its completeness can also be achieved. It is often seen as a positive feature rather than a defect. You can use the word "health perfectionism" to explain or justify perfectionism. Brené Brown of the Houston College of Social Welfare studies distinguishes between perfectionism and healthy behavior. She said: "Perfectionism is not the same as trying to do our best, perfectionism is not about sound achievement and growth," she explains.
