The Relationship Between Perfectionism and Reflective Functioning among College Students

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the association between perfectionism and reflective functioning among the undergraduate students whose ages ranged between 18 and 25 years. Rather than focusing on causation, the project looked at how closely these traits move together across individuals. Spread through targeted selection; three hundred participants made up the group under review. Tools used included a scale built by Randy O. Frost’s team back in 1990 measuring various sides of high personal standards. Instead of informal methods, researchers relied on structured responses gathered via established checklists. Included also was a more recent tool from Peter Fonagy’s circle released in 2016 assessing insight into thoughts behind behaviors. Through number based analysis, links between rigid expectations and emotional awareness emerged for observation. Age, gender, along with field of study, formed part of the data gathered. Analysis involved summary measures followed by examination of variable links via Pearson’s method in SPSS software. A clear upward link appeared between perfectionism and capacity for reflection (r = .563, p = .01). People leaning toward high standards might spend more time reviewing inner thoughts possibly boosting their ability to reflect. Recognizing such personality features in school environments matters; building stronger thinking about one’s own mind could ease stress tied to rigid self-expectations while supporting mental health.
