Perfectionism coping and well-being: A correlational analysis on Indian University Students

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between perfectionism, well-being and coping in Indian university students. Design of this study is cross-sectional, correlation used for analysis with a sample size of 151 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 years from a single university. Standardized instruments were used for data collection including Flett’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS) and Brief COPE. Correlational analysis indicated a positive association between SOP and adaptive coping and SPP and maladaptive coping. It also indicated that SPP is negatively associated with well-being but SOP was not associated to wellbeing.
