Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of perfectionism and the inferiority feeling among university students. In the study, correlational and descriptive survey models among the quantitative research methods are applied. Participants include 672 university students (with 485 females and 187 males) whose average age is 21 years. As data collection tools, the Frost Multi-Dimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Inferiority Feeling Scale, and the Personal-Demographic Information Form are used. Data are analyzed through the Pearson Correlation Coefficient Test and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis to examine the relationship between the characteristics of perfectionism and the inferiority feeling. Results show that there is a positive and moderate-level relationship between university students’ characteristics of perfectionism and inferiority feeling and that the inferiority feeling positively predicts the characteristics of perfectionism.
