Perfectionism, Fear of Negative Evaluations, and Social Disconnectedness Among College Students in Lipa City Colleges
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
It has been observed that perfectionism has increased over the last three decades; yet, despite its seeming desirability, it may have enormously detrimental effects on one's psycho-social well-being. This research identified and measured the levels of perfectionism, fear of negative evaluations, and social disconnectedness among college students in Lipa City Colleges. The researchers used a quantitative predictive correlational research design and a purposive sampling method to select the study's official respondents. A preliminary survey was administered before the survey, which the researchers adopted; it included the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale Short Version, the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluations Scale, and the Social Connectedness Scale Original Version. One hundred fifty college students from any program filled out these surveys. The respondents reported high levels of perfectionism, fear of negative evaluations, and social disconnection. Among the three dimensions of perfectionism, socially-prescribed perfectionism scored the highest and was deemed a significant predictor of fear of negative evaluations and social disconnectedness. In contrast, only self-oriented perfectionism negatively influenced fear of negative evaluations. The relevance of the two aspects of perfectionism to fear of negative evaluations and social disconnectedness prompted the researchers to suggest that parents, instructors, and the institution's Guidance and Counseling department should collaborate to reduce the incidence of these variables.
