Abstract The aim of this studywas to examine the relationship between perfectionism and mental health in a sample of students. One hundred and eighty five students (92 girls, 85 boys, 8 unknown) were included in this study. All participants completed the Farsi version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (FPANPS; Besharat, 2009) and the Mental Health Inventory (MHI; Besharat, 2006). Positive perfectionism waspositively associated with psychological well-being and negatively associated with psychological distress. The results also revealed that negative perfectionism was negatively associated with psychological wellbeing and positively associated with psychological distress. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Keywords: Perfectionism, mental health, psychological well-being, psychological distress.1. Introduction Perfectionism, as a neurotic structure, is defining based on try to being faultless and establishes very high parameters for function with tendency to evaluate behaviours obviously critical (Burns, 1980; Flett & Hewitt, 2002). Additionally perfectionists usually compare their values with inaccessible goals and their lives are managed upon specific self-defined rules like “thetyranny of the should” (Horney, 1950). With this approach in explanation based on perfectionism, negative sides of this structure were more considered. Thus correlation of perfectionism parameters has more studied by psycho-pathological aspects (Wyatt & Gilbert, 1998). All the researches show that two aspect of perfectionism are completely distinguished (e.g., Stumpf & Parker, 2000; Suddarth &Slaney, 2001), One aspect is explained as positive or normal perfectionism and includes such aspects of perfectionism that related to perfectionism challenges such as having high level personal standards and trying to be the best. Another aspect has called neurotic or negative perfectionism which has shown positive correlation with maladjustments such as negative affect (e.g., Stoeber, Harris & Moon,2007; Stoeber, Otto, Pescheck & A. L., 2007). It includes those aspects of perfectionism which is related to prefectural worries such as worries about make mistakes, uncertainty, and fear of the others judgments and disharmony of expects and results. And therefore, finding different relations between these two aspects of perfectionism and psychological well-being and distress is expectable.

The results of researches show some pathological consequences of perfectionism including mood disorders (e.g., o`connor,Rasmussen & Hawton, 2010; Strauman, 1989), anxiety disorders (e.g., Juster, Heimberg, Frost, Holt, Mattia & Faccenda, 1998; Shumaker & Rodebaugh, 2009), eating disorders (Bardone–cone & Wonderlich, A. L., 2007; Peck & Lightenseyjr, 2008), personally disorders (e.g., Huprich, Porcerelli, Keaschuk, Binienda & Engle, 2008). A few researches also confirm the relations between positive perfectionism andfeeling of merit (Frost & Steketee, 1990), educational success (Besharat, 2005), and positive affects (Frost, Heimberg, Holt, Mattia & Neubauer, A. L., 1993). The main theory of this research is showing that how negative and positive perfectionism are differently related to psychological health parameters including psychological well-being and distress. In the other words, positive perfectionism...
