2. Perfectionism is often a burden to the people that experience it, but in bodies of literature, it is often misunderstood as something healthy as they confuse perfectionism with striving for excellence.
3. I found the fact that there is a misunderstanding of the nature of perfectionism very interesting.

3. I found it interesting how perfectionism can easily lead to perceptions of a more difficult course, higher anxiety and a more negative mood.

2. The article I read compares between the dual types of perfectionism that might happen in athletes and affecting their performance; perfectionism strivings and concerns. Perfectionism Strivings usually resulted in positive relationship for the athlete to reach their goals when mix with emotions; this would be the drive of self-confidence, motivation to perform and train at their maximum. In contract, perfectionism concerns produce negative relationship like fear of failure, low self-esteem, etc.
3. I found that the research stated perfectionism concerns are only "maladaptive"; while perfectionism striving is built through healthy life of excellence

2.How to spot a Perfectionist:
(1) A tendency to set high standards and often push themselves to work hard to obtain those goals
(2) Prefer organizationm neatness in their environment and physical surrounding
(3) Expecting high performace and perfection from others.
(4) Negative respond to  a mistake that has been made
(5) Feel that others have high expectations, as they think they are expected to be "perfect" and that they are being criticized on their performance
(6) Being dissatificed with one's standards; " never good enough"
(7) show tendency to be overly concerned with details
(8) think that if their performance is not perfect, they believe they "failed"

+I found it interesting how this obsession towards being "perfect" often has a lot to do with how others perceive them, because when we think of a "perfectionist", we think of someone who is obsessed with themselves and acts like the world revolves around them, when in reality, many "perfectionists" are prison to the eyes of others.They think they need validation from others to accept themselves, and give others the power to decide their self worth.
+I thought it was quite ironic how even the desire to do better, in excess, do one more harm than good.
+Lastly, seeing the list of behaviours of a perfectionist in a written form provides a third person perspective that really points out how irrational and unproductive this type of behaviour is.

2. In the peer-reviewed article that I read, it discusses the beneficial effects perpetuated from perfectionism. One of the most prominent impacts is its effect on academic motivation. Perfectionism induces self-determination, prompting students to achieve high scores on assignments. On the other hand, perfectionism can precipitate higher levels of anxiety, causing psychological adjustment difficulties.
3. I found it interesting that many of the articles have a positive attitude towards perfectionism.

How is extreme perfectionism treated in a clinical setting?
Summary: Based on the article I have read, perfectionism is delved in a clinical setting. "Clinical perfectionists strive for ambitious goals and judge their self-worth on the achievement of these goals. Not meeting these goals, whether realistic or not, is met with a barrage of self-criticism and loathing."

Treatment: Cognitive Behavior Therapy:
1. Educating the person about the difference between useful and clinical perfectionism, the damaging aspects of clinical perfectionism, and how it can actually make it less likely people will achieve their goals.
2. Personalized case plan with therapist
3. Encouraging flexible standards and self-compassion rather than self-criticism

2. This article highlighted the apparent correlation between the idea of early stage perfectionism and future self-esteem. It was investigated, how differing levels of perfectionism in 6 year-old boys and girls would go on to affect their self-esteem and body satisfaction but a year later. The conclusion proved that perfectionism resulted in having negative implications on the tendencies of young children and their self-image and worth even when they're only 7 years old.
3. I found it interesting that even at such young ages, the idea of internalised perfectionism still had a largely demeaning and demoralising effect on children's personal self-esteem. This psychological research has proved that no matter your age, there is an extent to which the idea of perfectionism can be toxic and damaging.

2. The article I read was about the relation between psychology and suicide potential. I read the abstract instead of reading the whole book so I only know brief information. The findings shows that suicide potential has direct relation to a dispositional tendency to perceive that other people are unrealistic in their expectations set for  themselves.
3. It was interesting for me to find out that out of self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism, it is shown that only socially prescribed perfectionism has direct relation to suicide threat and intent.

2. In the article that I read, it focuses on "a better understanding of the link between self-oriented perfectionism and academic procrastination by examining the role of self efficacy as a mediator in the relationship."  It talks about how external factors actually also becomes part of the reason why you act the way yo do.
3. It's interesting how perfectionism and procrastination, two things that contrast one another can occur at the same time.

2.  Perfectionists can be grouped into adaptive, maladaptive and nonperfectionists. Maladaptive perfectionists show the most correlation with high stress and depression.
3. It is interesting to me that perfectionism may or may not be detrimental depending on the person's own take on perfectionism. With the right mindset, it might be beneficial, while with the wrong mindset, it may do the opposite.

2. The article I read highlighted the fact that perfectionists don't believe in unconditional love, in other words, for perfectionists expecting affection and approval was dependent on their flawless performance. The article also states that perfectionism is driven primarily by internal pressures, such as the desire to avoid failure or harsh judgment. The article found that perfectionistic tendencies have increased substantially among young people over the past 30 years, regardless of gender or culture. This may be a result of the increase in academic and professional competition along with the pervasive presence of social media and the harmful social comparisons it elicits. Furthermore, perfectionists often have the tendency to shrug off compliments and forget to celebrate their success. Instead, they look to specific people in their life for approval and validation. Striving for perfection can often induce a tendency to avoid challenges, procrastinate, make a habit of rigid all-or-nothing thinking, toxic comparisons, and even a lack of creativity.

2. Perfectionism may correlate to procrastination since trying to make something absolutely perfect, may not be done in a short amount of time, which leads to the pushing back of the task.
3. Procrastination is not actually a trait of laziness (it can), but more to a misguided sense of activity. Usually when people procrastinate, it is because the work seems too challenging for them which causes them to divert and delay. Basically, procrastination can be summarized ivy 3 reasons. They don't know what to do, they don't know how to do it, or they don't n=enjoy doing it.

2. this article describe how Perfectionism and procrastination are very common for most student nowadays and how it lead to unhealthy behaviour. Study and test have shown that the fear of failure and task asversiveness  component of procrastination was associated broadly with perfectionism. Due to the nature of people wanting to reach perfectionism, they often procrastinate day in and day out to ensure that they don't fail. Staying up all night is not an healthy habit to be doing and because of this fear student started to eat less and sleep less.
3. i found that mostly males are most correlated with both general and academic procrastination due to perfectionism, and procrastination was associated broadly with all the perfectionism dimension.

2. The two types of perfectionism, self oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism. The two were hypothesised that interactions with achievement stress or social stress could be a leading factor to depression. Self oriented perfectionism interacted with social stress to predict anxiety and depression whereas socially prescribed perfectionism often correlated with achievement stress and social stress to predict depression, social stress, anger suppression and outwardly directed anger.
3. Its interesting how the two types of perfectionism is more interconnected than it seems and although the hypothesis only guessed that it could be a leading factor with depression, the results indicate how perfectionism could be the cause to other issues such as anxiety and anger.
