Research On The Relation Between The Perfectionism And Subjective Well-being In Engineering College

Perfectionism is a personality trait which is closely related with mental health,and mental health is one of the most important index of subjective well-being. In Reallife we can see perfectionism everywhere, and in recent years, depression-suicidesoccur in college frequently. This paper aims to present the embodiment ofperfectionism and the subjective well-being through empirical research ofengineering-student in college in Tianjin and also explore the relationship between thetwo, trying to find the factors which affect the university students’ sense of happinessfrom this Angle, and to put forward some constructive suggestions.This study collected material through literature retrieval method, interviewmethod, an open questionnaire method widely of a total of500college students fromthe university in Tianjin, and carried on the investigation using the Chinese version"multidimensional perfectionism scale" and "general happiness scale" as the mainmeasurement tools, and analyze the data using the analysis of variance, correlationanalysis and regression analysis and other methods, mainly to discuss the relationshipof perfectionism and subjective well-being of engineering-students in college.The results are as follows:First, engineering-student in college in Tianjin have moderate partialperfectionism level tendency, which is higher than average college students’perfectionism level. Engineering-student in college in Tianjin tend to conform to thegood perfectionism.Second, through analyzing the perfectionism of different groups ofengineering-students in Tianjin, we found there are no obvious difference betweenmale and female, children and the only-child, urban and rural areas. But in the averageperfectionism level, boys’ is above the girls’, the children is above the only-child, therural’s is above the city’s.Third, through analyzing the level of subjective well-being of different groups ofengineering-student in Tianjin, the results show that there are no obvious difference between different gender, children and the only-child, urban and rural areas. But in theaverage subjective well-being level, the girls’ is above the boys’, the children is abovethe only-child, the city’s is above the rural’s.Fourth, there exists significant positive correlation between the score ofperfectionism and subjective well-being of engineering students in Tianjin, and thereexists negative correlation between the dimensions of worrying about makingmistakes, doubting behavior and well-being index, and the dimension of worryingabout making mistakes has a significant level. There exists significant positivecorrelation between orderly, personal standards and well-being index. Adapting to thegood perfectionism has a significant positive correlation with well-being index., andadapting to bad perfectionism has a negative correlation with well-being index.Fifth, among the five different dimensions of perfectionism, orderly, doubtingbehavior, personal standards, and worrying about mistakes, these four dimensionscan predict subjective well-being effectively. Orderly and personal standards predictsubjective well-being positively, and doubting behavior and worrying about makingmistakes predict subjective well-being reversely.
