STUDY OF CHARACTERISTICS OF PERFECTIONISM AMONG STUDENTS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION
In the article the concept and structure of perfectionism as a complex and ambiguously interpreted phenomenon is viewed. Perfectionism is defined as a multidimensional construct, involving the desire of the individual to be perfect in everything, which is reflected in the presentation of excessive demands to themselves, to others, in the perception of the environment requirements as unrealistic and exaggerated. Student age is considered as sensitive period for the emergence and manifestation of perfectionism. It is noted that the emergence and manifestation of perfectionism makes difficult the process of socio-psychological adaptation. The results of studying the characteristics of perfectionism of students with different levels of socio-psychological adaptation are presented. Statistically significant differences in the characteristics (in the claims to oneself, other people, in the perception of requirements of others) of perfectionism in students with different level of socio-psychological adaptation are revealed. Some recommendations for meaningful makeovers of constructive perfectionism of first-year students are proposed.
