An Investigation of the Relationship between Parental Perfectionism and Studentsʹ Test Anxiety

The aim of the Present study was to examine the relationship between parental perfectionism and studentsʹ test anxiety. 422 third grade students (237 girls, 205 boys) and 386 of their parents (212 mothers, 174 fathers) were included in this study. All students and their parents were asked to complete Test Anxiety Inventory and the Farsi Version of the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale, respectively. The. results revealed that parental positive perfectionism was negatively associated with childrenʹs test anxiety and parental negative perfectionism was positively associated with childrenʹs test anxiety. Parental positive perfectionism is supposed to reduce childrenʹs test anxiety through realistic expectations, reinforcement of self-esteem, and parent-child positive interactional style. And conversely parental negative perfectionism seem to increase childrenʹs test anxiety through unrealistic expectations, impoverishment of self-esteem, and parent-child negative interactional style.
