Perfectionism

Contributors: Philip B. GnilkaJeffrey S. Ashby

The key defining feature of perfectionism is holding high personal expectations for performance and behavior (Stoeber & Otto, 2006). Perfectionism is generally viewed as having both an adaptive and maladaptive form (Gnilka, Ashby, & Noble, 2012; Rice & Ashby, 2007; Stoeber & Otto, 2006).
