Abstract
Perfectionism can either be a bane or a boon to students, fostering great achievements or causing stress. This study explored the relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being and academic achievement of Grade 12 senior high school students in DMMMSU-MLUC Laboratory High School. Using a descriptive correlational quantitative method approach, the total enumeration of the students answered the survey questionnaires on a modified Frost’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and Ryff ’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. Analysis on median showed that all dimensions of FMPS and PWBS scored three (3), implying high perfectionism and high psychological well-being. The Kruskal-Wallis test for FMPS domains showed statistically significant differences in “Excessively High Personal Standards” across academic achievements; and PWBS between “Personal Growth” and academic tracks, and “Environmental Mastery” across academic achievements. The Spearman’s Rho showed a significant but weak positive relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being. These findings entailed the importance of fostering healthy levels of perfectionism to enhance the students’ psychological well-being.
