Abstract


The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between perfectionism and psychological hardiness with mental health and academic performance. The sample consisted of 300 girls randomly selected from preuniversity schools of four educational districts in Ahvaz. Subjects were asked to fill out the Ahvaz Perfectionism Scale (APS), Ahvaz Hardiness Inventory• (AHI), and Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL 90-R). Students’ GPAS for the previous three years and their GPAS for the last semester were used as their academic performance. The results of the research indicated that perfectionism had a negative relation with mental health, but no correlation with academic performance. Psychological hardiness had positive relations with mental health and academic performance. Moreover, multiple correlation coefficient between perfectionism and psychological hardiness and mental health were not significantly higher than their simple correlation coefficients. Multiple correlation coefficient of perfectionism and psychological hardiness and academic performance was significantly higher than simple correlation of each of the mentioned variables.
