“…Some studies have found that PC perfectionism is linked to higher levels of negative affect, and PS perfectionism is linked to lower levels of negative affect (e.g., Damian et al, 2014;Gaudreau & Thompson, 2010;Molnar et al, 2006), whereas other studies have found that only PC perfectionism, but not PS perfectionism is linked to state negative affect (e.g., Flett et al, 2009). When negative affect is construed as depression, anxiety, and anger (e.g., Hewitt & Flett, 2004;Stoeber, Schneider, Hussain, & Matthews, 2014), or as chronic negative emotionality (Shanmugasegaram et al, 2014), positive asso-ciations have been noted for both perfectionism dimensions, with stronger associations noted for PC perfectionism than PS perfectionism (e.g., Hewitt & Flett, 2004), especially after repeated failures .…”

“…Perfectionism is defined as a personality type where an individual (student) tries to be faultless and sets exceedingly higher goals regarding academic performance and overly critiques his or her behavior (Stoeber, Schneider, Hussain & Matthews, 2014). (Hewitt and Flett, 1991) operationalized perfectionism into these three components: self-oriented, other-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism.…”

This study contended that learning statistics and its rudiments were perceived as complicated compared to some other courses offered at the university level. Further, this investigation contested the existence of statistics anxiety among postgraduate students in an in-site university setting. Relationships and differences were determined in this study utilizing the constructs of antecedents of statistics anxiety namely academic procrastination, perfectionism, and gender. The objectives were (1) to establish the relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; (2) to find out the relationship between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; and (3) to investigate the differences between gender and statistics anxiety. The data from randomly selected 136 postgrad students (Kampala International University, Uganda) referring to dispositional (procrastination and perfectionism) and environmental antecedents (gender) and statistics anxiety were scientifically elicited, processed and analyzed utilizing the quantitativepost positivist's research paradigm model. The findings revealed a positive but insignificant relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; a significant adverse correlation between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; an insignificant positive correlation existed between gender and statistics anxiety, and differences in statistics anxiety between the female and male students existed. Notably from the results then, academic procrastination did not significantly affect the students' statistics anxiety; the students with higher levels of perfectionism tended to have lower levels of statistics anxiety while the levels of statistics anxiety among the female students were slightly greater than that of the male students.

“…Indeed, the potentially adaptive effects of Perfectionistic Strivings (or its components) often are only uncovered once the joint variance between Perfectionistic Strivings and Perfectionistic Concerns has been statistically accounted for in the analyses (see Hill, Huelsman, & Araujo, 2010;Stoeber, Kobori, & Brown, 2014a). Some researchers suggest that it is important to test multiple dimensions of perfectionism simultaneously so that researchers can statistically control for the joint variance among the dimensions of perfectionism so as to "purify" the dimension of interest (Aldea & Rice, 2006;Stoeber, Schneider, Hussain, & Matthews, 2014b). These suppression effects have been replicated numerous times suggesting that they are not simply a statistical artefact that can be brushed under the proverbial carpet.…”

As the contributions in the present volume attest, we have gained a much deeper understanding of the role of perfectionism in health and well-being over the past 25 years. Advances in the theoretical conceptualizations of perfectionism, the way we measure perfectionism, and a growing appreciation of the substantial role of personality and individual difference factors in health and well-being and across different contexts have collectively converged to contribute to the development of a promising body of literature focused on understanding when, where, and why perfectionism may create risk or resilience for health and well-being. Indeed, each of the contributions in this edited volume address these important issues from novel and unique perspectives, often highlighting the commonalties of the complexities and controversies that abound. In this final chapter, we have selected four key themes emerging from these works that we believe deserve closer attention because they have the potential to pave the way for future research for the next generation of researchers in the field. Specifically, we will discuss (1) issues in the conceptualization and measurement of perfectionism, (2) the pervasiveness of perfectionism, (3) the adaptive versus maladaptive perfectionism debate, and (4) issues in measuring health and well-being in relation to perfectionism. These themes afford us new insights into links among perfectionism, health, and well-being that can guide scholars to new and exciting questions to further propel the field forward.
