Perfectionism and psychological well-being in adolescents with high intellectual abilities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Perfectionism is understood as a psychological construct that can either facilitate excellence in various areas of life or lead to maladaptation when not properly managed. Although numerous studies exist on perfectionism and high abilities, this relationship still has many unresolved scientific questions, especially regarding the emotional development of individuals.

Method

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being in 103 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with either high intellectual abilities or average intellectual capacity. Subgroups were established based on different age ranges to compare the relationships between perfectionism and psychological well-being throughout adolescence.
