Contribution of perfectionism dimensions towards predicting psychological well-being considering both gender and standard of academic achievement

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to identify the dimensions of perfectionism and its contribution towards predicting psychological well-being, and the differences between them according to gender and standard of academic achievement. Methods: The study followed the descriptive approach, and the sample consisted of (422) students from the College of Basic Education of both genders in the State of Kuwait; the multidimensional perfectionism scale prepared by Hewitt & Flett (1991) and translated by Daradkeh (2019), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale prepared by Diener (2010) and translated by Saleh (2017), were both applied. Results: The results revealed an increase in internally oriented perfectionism compared to both other-oriented perfectionism and socially oriented perfectionism. It was found that internally oriented perfectionism and socially oriented perfectionism were statistically significant in predicting psychological well-being. Further, there were differences between males and females in internally oriented perfectionism and otheroriented perfectionism in favor of males; also, there were no differences between them in both psychological well-being, and socially oriented perfectionism. There were also significant differences in psychological well-being and internally oriented perfectionism in favor of those with high standards of academic achievement, and the differences of socially oriented perfectionism were in favor of those with a low standard of academic achievement, while there were no differences according to the standard of academic achievement in other-oriented perfectionism. Conclusion: The results of the study showed differences in the dimensions of perfectionism in predicting the psychological well-being of the students.
