“…These results seem to corroborate the hypothesis that perfectionism is related to controlling and highly critical parenting styles, where parents are described as being demanding and imposing extremely elevated standards of performance on their children [25,26]. This association has also been reported in adulthood: a recent CBT Intervention study with young adults [30] reported that a perceived negative parenting style is associated with specific, maladaptive aspects of perfectionism.…”

Perfectionism is a significant transdiagnostic process related to the development and maintenance of several psychological disorders. The main models of the development of perfectionism focus on early childhood experiences and postulate that parental relation is an important factor for understanding this construct in children. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between child and parental perfectionism, seeking to evaluate the empirical support of the Social Learning Model and the Social Expectations Model and children’s perception of parenting styles. The present study included 119 children (51.2% girls, Mage = 11.67 years) and their parents. Data were collected through administration of several self-report measures. The results show a relationship between the majority of the same parent and child perfectionism dimensions, thus providing supportive evidence for the Social Learning Model. Concerning the analysis of the role of gender in the transmission of perfectionism, observed fathers’ perfectionism only relates with the sons’ perfectionism, and mothers’ perfectionism relates with daughters’ perfectionism. Our findings allow for a deeper understanding of the role of the perception of an authoritarian parenting style in the development of maladaptive perfectionism. Mother and fathers’ perceived parenting styles contribute more to daughter than son perfectionism. The results contribute to expanding the understanding of the role of parental factors in the development of perfectionism.

Objective Emotional instability during adolescence could make them susceptible to developing mental problems, and these problems could enhance in severity when left unresolved. Other life stressors like job competition, peer pressure, and parental unrealistic expectations could further deteriorate their mental health. Therefore, the present study is designed to investigate the impact of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on adolescents to manage procrastination, burnout, self-handicapping behavior, and test anxiety to enhance academic motivation and achievement.Materials and Methods A total of 200 students were enrolled for eligibility assessment, and 129 participants met the eligibility criteria. Participants were divided into two groups, the experimental group, and the waitlist control group. All the students completed their demographics form and screening tool, the eligible participants were given assessment measures at pre-post-assessment stages (8 weeks intervals). We used different assessment measures to assess the outcome i.e. General Procrastination Scale (GPS), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), Self-handicapping Scale (SHS), Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI), and Living up to Parental Expectation Scale (LPES). Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the results.Results The current RCT findings suggest that CBT substantially reduced emotional and behavioral problems and helped the students manage parental unrealistic expectations in the experimental group compared to the waitlist control condition. Further, CBT significantly reduced the degree of procrastination {F (1, 63) = 25.01, p < .000, η2 = .29} academic burnout {F (1, 63) = 11.08, p < .000, η2 = .16}, test anxiety {F(1, 63) = 88.17, p < .000, η2 = .59}, and self-handicapping {F (3, 56) = 10.17, p < .000, η2 = .16} among adolescents. Overall, CBT significantly helped the students to manage parental unrealistic expectations through providing relationship skills and training {F (3,56) = 546.46, p < .001, η2 = .89)}.Condition: It is concluded that CBT is an effective and evidence-based treatment intervention to address emotional disturbance caused by procrastination, burnout, test anxiety, and self-handicapping behavior among adolescents. Furthermore, it is concluded that CBT is also an effective intervention that helped students to manage peer pressure and parental unrealistic expectations.
