Abstract

This study examined the function of perfectionism by knowing relationship of Perfectionism and adaptation-indices. The questionnaire including Perfectionism Questionnaire(PQ),Psychological Well-Being Scale(PWBS), The Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist(MAACL) and Daily Hassles Scale(DHS) were completed by 695 graduate and under-graduate students in Seoul and the metropolitan area. The results indicated that 'Perfectionism Tendency(trait to achieve one's goal to be perfect)' was positively related to psychological well-being and positive affect, and was not significantly related to daily hassles and negative affect. On the other hand,'Negative Consequence(state of being in discomfort and maladaptation due to perfectionism)' was negatively related to psychological well-being and positive affect and was positively related to daily hassles and negative affect. Participants were divided into three groups(functional perfectionism group, dysfunctional perfectionism group, and nonperfectionism comparison group) and these three groups were compared in some adaptation-indices. The results indicated that functional perfectionism group had the significantly highest psychological well-being and positive affect levels. On the other hand,dysfunctional perfectionism group had the significantly highest negative affect and daily hassles levels. Finally, the implications and the limitations of this study were discussed.
