Sažetak
In today's academic society where perfection has become an often demand, the question on the influence of perfectionism on the quality of students' functioning seems justified. The aim of this study was to examine differences between students with different types of adaptive/maladaptive perfectionism in some other personality characteristics, procrastination, and their life satisfaction. A sample of 245 students at the University of Zadar completed self-assessment questionnaires. They were divided in four different groups of perfectionists (including non-perfectionists). The results showed that the groups with higher levels of maladaptive perfectionism were less satisfied, procrastinated more, and had increased machiavellianism. Adaptive perfectionism contributed to higher levels of conscientiousness and, interestingly, a higher level of narcissism when combined with an also higher level of maladaptive perfectionism. Life satisfaction was correlated to different variables for different groups of perfectionists. The results generally point to the complexity of perfectionism and its correlates.
