Перфекционизмот ориентиран кон очекувањата на другите како маладаптивна ориентација кај студентите во тест ситуација
SOCIALLY PRESCRIBED PERFECTIONISM AS A MALADAPTIVE ORIENTATION AMONG STUDENTS IN TEST SITUATION

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the study, which was the part of a wider research conducted during 2010/2011 academic year, examined the associations among trait dimensions of perfectionism, with emphasis on socially prescribed perfectionism, test performance, and levels of positive and negative affect after taking a midterm test in developmental psychology. A sample of 97 university students, aged 19-20, (average age 19,4), enrolled in 1st year at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, “Goce Delcev“ University of Stip, completed the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS; Hewitt & Flett, 2004), one week prior to the actual class test. Measures of positive affect and negative affect were obtained immediately following the midterm classroom test (PANAS; Watson et al., 1988). The test completed by each student was a regular midterm test that comprised 20% of their final grade in developmental psychology. As we expected, it was found that socially prescribed perfectionism is associated significantly with lower positive affect, greater negative affect, and poorer test performance. The results are discussed in terms of the need to examine trait dimensions of perfectionism within the context of ongoing and actual performance outcomes experienced by perfectionistic students.
