The Relationship Between Spiritual well being and Perfectionism Among Middle Aged Population - A Correlational study

Abstract The present study explored the relationship between spiritual well being and perfectionism. A total of 200 middle aged participants were administered standardized measures to assess perfectionism and spiritual well being. Looking at the numbers, people scored around 179.42 on perfectionism, with little variation (SD = 7.318). Spiritual well-being came out lower, averaging 81.04, though more spread out (SD = 8.884). When linking both traits, no meaningful connection appeared - correlation hovered near zero (r = .001, p = .985). Breaking down perfectionism further, aiming high personally tied weakly and negatively to spirituality (r = -.040, p = .571). Expecting others to be flawless also linked slightly below zero, yet still not clear (r = -.035, p = .620). On the opposite edge, pressure from society to be perfect nudged upward, showing a small positive tilt (r = .082, p = .250), even if not strong enough to matter. Perfectionism, in all its forms, appears unrelated to spiritual well-being, according to the findings. Instead, personal spirituality might depend more on situational or mental influences than on striving for flawlessness. Though one might expect a link, evidence here points elsewhere. Factors beyond self-imposed standards could shape inner meaning more strongly. The data simply do not support a strong tie between these particular traits.
